A name that I like is Janis or Janice as a first name?

I like Janis because it is diff spelling and it sounds like a classic name.

Janis better than Janice, and I too make the Janis Joplin connection.

Jan is cute but isn't that one of the girls from the Brady Bunch? She could have been a Janet I suppose, but Jan is cute.

Janis reminds me of Janis Joplin, but then I'm from another generation. With the names that are popular now, Janis sounds downright fresh!

It sounds kind of old lady-ish , but not as bad as Phyllis or Gertrude!

Janis is more modern looking than Janice though.

Janice is better in my opinion. I'm 26 and I know a couple of Janices around my age, so not just an old lady name.

I don't really like it...I picture this annoying little girl, lol. (I knew a Janice)

But if you really like it, I would make it Janice. Janis doesn't look right, she would definitely get teased (if you see what I'm saying).

What about Genevieve?

Janis is a newer nicer spelling. I like it.

Yeah it is kind of old sounding. However it is a lot better than some of the made up and trendy names out there today. She will be the only one in her class.

Beautiful either way! I think it spelling just has to do with the origin.

My named is spelled mostly with a "U"; but a few days ago I learned the in Brazil it is spelled with an "I", learn something new every day!

Yes. But how about Michaele or Janette?
