Oh I really like Jean with Jeanie for a little girl. Lovely!

John in Irish is Sean so that would give you a feminine Seana, which you might anglicise to Shauna or Sheona I think is the Scots version?

Some fadas missing there due to incompetence.

The Welsh equivalent of Jane is Sian, if that's any help.
