While I like Jane, Janet, Jenny, Jenna, etc... "Janice" for some reason makes me cringe. It's probably the final syllable that makes it sound like "pumice", "hummus" or even "anus".

I am a Janice. Often I wished my parents had chosen a less “boring” name, but after all, I now prefer to be boring and not rude. I had the distinction of being the bearer of a less-than-common name, for sure. There were a Janis and a Janet in my class at school, and as far as I recall, we were the only three in the entire school.

Janice Doreen Dickinson is an American model, photographer, author and talent agent. Initially notable as a model, she has been disputably described by herself and others as the first supermodel. One of the most successful models of the 1970s and 1980s, she also served as a judge on four cycles on America's Next Top Model beginning in 2003. She opened a modeling agency in 2005, which was documented in the reality television series The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.

We had a family friend with this name and she was a very nice woman so I SHOULD associate this name with her and like it. But it is pronounced just like the adjective 'janus' and that has negative connotations i.e. two-faced, duplicitous. Although that is technically 'janus-faced'. The Roman god Janus with his two faces is supposed to represent new beginnings, gateways etc.
It would be an interesting idea to name someone born a Gemini this, but I have always thought it would be an appropriate name for a character in a book who is schizophrenic.

Janice is my mom's name. I think it's a fine name. A bit uncommon today, but a number of women in their 40s-60s are named Janice. I have noticed that some people have a hard time understanding her name. They come out with all sorts of names no matter how many times she repeats it (Pam? Jean? Anne?), so sometimes she just says yes to the first wrong name they say, or she just says Jan. When people read it, they sometimes say Ja-neice, which irritates her a little bit. It's pronounced like Janus. All in all, Janice is a perfectly okay name. It makes me think of my mom and smile, so I like it.

Good enough, although a bit dated. Janice brings to mind a type of woman who is very stable and stable minded and has a good head on her shoulders. Oddly, I can easily picture a "Janice" who likes to help and provide for others.

Janice is a beautiful name in my opinion, especially since this is the name of my favorite aunt who has practically raised me. She is my confidante and we are very close, so naturally, Janice is a name that really means a lot to me.

This is my name and while I don't love it, I don't hate it either. Any other name on this site, no matter how hideous I consider it, has at least one positive comment posted--except mine! I don't believe one should dislike a name just because the writers of a popular television show elected to use it for an unsympathetic character. Nor do I feel the name Janice is boring--not nearly so much so as Anne, Sue, or Lynn! My name is out of style now, but it just may come back in fifty years or so.

This form of Jane seems to have been invented by the American novelist Paul Leicester Ford for the title character of his book _Janice Meredith_, first published in 1899. I suspect that he blended the names Janet and Alice to create it. The story is set in New Jersey during the time of the American Revolution, but I've never found a real example born before Ford's book was published. [noted -ed]
