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.

thank you. I've just seen it spelled both ways and was not sure about the proper spelling. I'll go with Jeanette then!

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.

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.
