This name is commonly spelled "Jeanette" in English-speaking countries as well as in countries like Germany for example.
Whether or not that is correct does not depend on the number of people named such.
To find the correct spelling it is necessary to take a look at where the name is originating. It originates in the French language and there it is derived from the male name Jean (not to be mixed up with the English female name).
When a French word that ends on "n" is changed from a male gender to a female gender the "n" is duplicated. As a result the female version of Jean is Jeanne. One of the most popular historical figures with this name is Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc).
For the diminutive of this name "tte" is added giving it the following spelling: "Jeannette"
Accordingly "Jeannette" is the correct spelling, even though it is not the most popular spelling outside of France. It happens to be my first name and outside of France it is constantly misspelled in more than just one way.
In the end however the correct spelling is the one that the individual having the name (or the parent) deems correct.
If your name is Jeanette, then this is the correct spelling of your name. If it were Janette, then that would be the correct spelling.
Names develop over time and new ways to spell them come up. The lady, I mentioned earlier whose French name is Jeanne d'Arc happened to be French and she signed her name "Jehanne" (looking like a mixture of Johanna and Jeanne, all names of the same group).
Correct is what your ID tells you, so don't let anybody tell you otherwise since this goes for Jeanette just as much as for people like Beckie (Becki, Becky, Beckeh, Becke, Bqah)
God bless,
Jeannette

What is the influence caused by Ares on modern culture?
I'm doing a project on Ares and I'm having trouble finding that too... I've descided that the best answer would be that Ares had somewhat strengthened war and altered it by giving men a different mindset while entering the battlefield... though, he also had a negative impact, as he was more of a foolish soldier and didnt plan out him attacks, but he was the greatest fighter, so maybe he was onto something....?
What is the meaning of the saying 'a stitch in time saves nine'?
The idea is that if you repair a tear in clothing as soon as it happens, you might fix it with one stitch of thread, but if you wait, it will tear more and you will end up using ten stitches to fix it. And so it is in general with things that need to be done--often if you do it promptly, it saves work in the long run.
