<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 12547516, member: 8267"]Jane > Janie > Jeanie. My mother's name was Jane. They intended to call me Jan to avoid confusion, but when signing the birth certificate she couldn't help slipping the e on the end of my name. I was called Jan while growing up, my brother often calling me Janie (pronounced with a short a) - which I hated. I chose to reclaim Jane when I started college, and learned that it is a name that has had a long history on both sides of the family.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
