"My name is Jan, I am 26 years old. I was always the only Jan in School, which was nice...I'm glad my name is less common." Aug. 6, 2009: 
"My name is Jan, and I love the fact that is simple and strong. Current trends are toward flowery girls' names, but I think Jan is a refreshing choice for a baby girl. People always pronounce it correctly, and I have never met another Jan my age. The only drawback is that it is also a boys' name, so sometimes there is some confusion there, but I don't mind much."

"My mother's name is Jan and she has hated it all her life. The name is not feminine enough. When my grandparents couldn't decide on a name for thier second girl they named her Jan! When she was 16 they decided to change it to Janet but her name is one of the things she never forgave her parents for." Apr. 17, 2006:
