Please comment with the area you live in/grew up in (whichever is more relevant to how you pronounce things) and the way you would pronounce this name:
I live in St Paul MN and grew up here and that name would make me bang my head into a keyboard. I have been speaking French for 12 years, lived in France for a bit, and worked summers at a French immersion camp for 6 years.
I have no idea how I would pronounce it as an American. My French has corrupted me, and I would want to say "Zhahn," but I know that it wouldn't be that way in English.
