Given the fact that my name never appear in any of the lists above, i'm glad. The very reason why i chose my name is becos i want it to be 'heard-b4' yet not too common :) I'm osos happie that i am given the chance to choose my own English name:
"Jeanette" (Hebrew) Feminie form of John: God is gracious.
Hebrew is the first language that the bible is being written in and i'm just so gay that my name has a wonderful meaning. For instance "Hansel" shares the same meaning as my name and that names lyk "Joshua", "Samuel" and "Daniel" are Hebrew names =)
