Jacqueline
- This is my favorite girl name because it is traditional and very feminine yet speaks volumes of self-confidence. It is a familiar name yet still very
unique.
- I like it pronounced (JACK-wuh-lin). Like Jacqueline Kennedy pronounces hers. It's the name of a lot of beautiful, elegant ladies, like Mrs. Kennedy, Jacklyn Smith. The nickname Jackie is spunky and smart. Cute for a little girl. Jacqueline is sophisticated and beautiful for an adult.
This is a French feminine form of Jacques, which is the French form of Jacob or James. in French it is pronounced /zhak LEEN/, but it is very common in English, pronounced /JACK a lin/ or occasionally /JACK kwa lin/.
