Janet is predominantly a female name in the United States, and has declined in use since the 1950s. There are approximately 310,000 people named Janet in the US today.
The name Janet's root letters are JNT.
Names beginning with the letter J usually signify self-assured personalities with none of the cockiness often associated with successful people. But when the negative letter N comes into close contact with the triumphant letter T, it creates an element of intransigence that leaves no room for debate about the JNT’s authoritative presence. We see this unyielding presence in the words: defiant, urgent, regent, serpent, taunt, torment, cement, and taint, All in all, Janets are intricate and effective people with strong wills and equally sharp minds.
There are many reasons why Janets have their reputations for being old-fashioned, but the most commonly cited reason is their insistence on staying true to their down-home values in the face of societal pressure. There’s a natural reserve to these people, and as gracious as they can be with strangers, they’re not particularly forthcoming with their feelings. By no means does this mean that Janets are stuffy or uninspired; these are people with powerful creative urges that manifest in an appreciation for music, art and literature. But you’ll have to win their trust before you’ll win their affection, and only after you’ve made it past their initial coolness will you encounter all the warmth these gracious creatures have to offer.
When it comes to career opportunities, the versatile Janets have plenty of options from which to choose. They pride themselves on their willingness to bite off more than they can chew -- seeing it as an expression of fearlessness rather than short-sightedness – and can be quite competitive in the workplace. The only real impediment to their professional success is their susceptibility to romantic entanglements which disrupt their career trajectories. Still, even if they’re going to be financially penalized for these idealistic choices, they aren’t going to have many regrets… hearts trump diamonds every time. Because Janets are vulnerable to these kinds of distractions, they rarely find themselves in upper-level positions or in jobs requiring six-day work weeks.
Janets can be quite brusque when it comes to getting what they want but despite their dictatorial essence, arequite popular with the opposite sex. So if you’re wondering why your JNT friends are still unmarried, it’s not because they’ve scared anyone off: it’s just that they haven’t found the right person to share life’s simple pleasures… a warm bed, a kind word and nightly foot-rubs. But once they’ve found what they’re looking fortheir single-mindedness is ideal for the hurly-burly of marriage. Janets have a strong need for structure in their households, which requires a healthy system of communication and their ideal partners will be easy-going enough to act as foils to their somewhat gritty styles.
