I really love this name! Especially the name Jeanne-Louise. I think it sounds very special.

This is my mother's name pronounced like the word genie.

A famous bearer of this name was a motion picture and Broadway actress Jeanne Eagels (born Amelia Jeannine Eagels- June 26, 1890 – October 3, 1929). Among many performances, she was nominated in 1929 for her performance in the movie "The Letter".

It looks very pretty, and has a connection to the saint I love best. If I ever had a child and wanted to name it for her, I would choose this version of her name. The only problem I have with it is the American tendency to pronounce it "jeen" or "jeenee".

I knew a girl named Jeanne who pronounced it like Jenny.

I think this name is gorgeous when pronounced correctly in French. In English, you'll likely be called "Jean" though, which isn't very pretty. No offense, my mom's name is Jean and she's not too fond of it. I would name our daughter this if we were living in France instead of the US.

I know someone with this name who pronounces it Gee-Ahn.
But that seems quite unusual to me.

I always thought it was pronounced jee-Ann.

"Jee-ann"? No, it's "Jean" but with "ne" on the end.

It kind of does look like jee-ann... But anyways, its a lot prettier than just jean. Although, the pronunciation in France looks like its the same as the male name jean... Not sure though.
