Hm. Behindthename is a good site, and my sole online name resource for many a month. It says . . . that Jenny was formerly a pet form of Jane, but is now a short form of Jennifer, which has absolutely nothing to do with John etc. Jeanie is a 'medieval variant of Jane'.
Speaking of which, look up Jane. Do I need a new glasses prescription, or is it basically saying that Jane is a feminine version of John? Which is the English version of Juan? Which is the male version of Juana, which is the name from whence comes Juanita?
I probably just need a new prescription. ^_^
"...Not old enough to love as yet
But old enough to die, indeed
The death-fear bites my throat and heart
Fanged cousin to the Pale One's breed
But past the fear lies life for them
Perhaps for me; and past my dread
Past loss of Mastery and life
The Sea shall yet give up Her dead..." /Song of the Twelve, Deep Wizardry./ (c) Diane Duane
