Gene and Jean are unrelated as far as I know; it's just that they are pronounced exactly the same.

It's Jean, the French form of John, that's spelled the same (and also related).

That's interesting.

If Jean is French form of John I can't use anyway then as my son's first MN is John.

John is one of those names that's ended up with sooooo many forms across languages and cultures. Jane, Janet, Ian, and Ivan are also forms of John. You can see a list of them here: http://www.behindthename.com/name/john/related
