I couldn’t help but chuckle because I’ve been tying the Halyard Hitch, Jeanneau Variant since I was about 12.. Except what I’ve always used it for is to tie the monofilament leader onto a fly when fly casting. The knot (bend actually) that I learned takes two passes through the eye of the hook and then is tied like the Jeanneau bend. And when I learned it from my Grandfather it was called a fisherman’s bend.
And, BTW, one of the reasons the bowline is the most basic knot taught in the US Power Squadron and CG Auxilliary basic seamanship classes is – according to the course material – that it retains around 90% of the strength of the line you are using and is the highest among the common knots and bends.

It's just the halyard hitch with a different finish. So perhaps it should be called halyard hitch, Jeanneau variant?
