Janette or Jeanette? how do you think it should be spelled? and do you even like it? (Pronounced Juh-NET by the way)

I would think that Janette was just a creative spelling of Janet, and would pronounce it accordingly. If you want JUH-net, I would use Jeanette.

Jeanette.

Janette looks like it would be pronounced the same as Janet, as are Harriet/Harriette, Juliet/Juliette, etc.

Janette.
It's my mother's name, so Jeanette looks very wrong to me.

Jeanette, that's how my grandma's name is spelled so that's how it is for me. Janette looks wrong.

I would go with Jeanette because Janette looks like Janet spelled creatively.

I like Jeanette, but that's not exactly how I'd be pronouncing it. It's French, so the J would be more like ZH.

Jeanette. But Janette is passable to me...

I've seen both, but I much prefer Jeanette.

I don't really like the name, but I would spell it Jeanette.

I don't like it, no, but I think that it should probably be spelled Jeanette. It looks more correct. Janette looks like some kind of creative spelling.
