Comments and insights on the name Jean

I quiet like Jean as a boys name, it sounds smooth and flowing and different from most male names. The only thing is that I like the pronunciation szohn (kinda of like John with a S) but most people pronounce it the jeen which is incorrect that is the feminine pronunciation of Jean.
