It is amazing, so far I have met or heard of so few of them, only 3 actually. I love the name, it was always unusual at school and so I didn’t always love it completely, but being a grown up , now in my mid 30′s with the name is great, i feel unique and special and anyone whoever comments on my name say ‘ what a beautiful name’ …. yay, thanks mum!!!

My own name is problematic enough (Charlotte the Scarlet Harlot), I wouldn’t want to inflict anything potentially, erm, sketchy, on my kids.

Eek! I know the spelling is different, but that translation is bad enough to steer me clear of this name.

I loved Their Eyes Were Watching God, so that only adds to its appeal for me. (I used to want to name a baby Janie after the main character of that book.) :)
