It's a very beautiful name. I named my daughter Janis after my Aunt Janice and she loves it. According to an article I saw a few months ago in Baby magazine, it's making a huge comeback, along with Isabella, as one of the most popular names of the year. I don't think it's an "old" name at all. It's just a name that's reserved for the very coolest people.

Greetings from another Janice. :)
www.ancestry.com has this to say about it:
Janice
English: derivative of Jane, with the addition of the suffix -ice, abstracted from female names such as Candice and Bernice. It seems to have been first used as the name of the heroine of the novel Janice Meredith by Paul Leicester Ford, published in 1899. Variant: Janis.
Short form: Jan.
www.babynamesworld.com/meaning_of_Janice.html
According to this site, it comes from the Hebrew word for "God is gracious."
At www.stockkanji.com/Names+in+Japanese/Names+J/Janice.htm it shows the name Janice spelled out in the romaji form (or "Roman characters"--aka English letters) as "Janisu", with the same meaning as above: "God is gracious."

No it isn't a weird name. I know a few people by that name. Just an older name.
