Jane as a first name

[snoopy26]

I'm loving Jane at the moment. Do you think Jane Eyre, Jane Austen or Plain Jane Superbrain?

Also struggling with a middle name as everything sounds back to front e.g. Jane Emily should be Emily Jane, Jane Laura should be Laura Jane.

Surname is 2 syllables, begins with P. Older sister is a Sarah. We're not exactly adventurous.

Any thoughts?

I like it. Classic and unusual (currently).

[JimmyCorkhill]

Love it might be my middle name!

Simple, classic and underused.

I like it with a 3 syllable middle name eg. Jane Elizabeth.

[ThinkIveBeenHacked]

its like Rose - makes a Meh middle name but a marvellous first name.

[ratqueen]

Love Jane and love Sarah!

[AreWeThereYeti]

I love it. It's my middle name but I often use it as my first name.

I think its fab.

[highlove]

I like it - unusual for a baby these days. I also think it calls for a longer middle name - Victoria, Elizabeth, Imogen, Isobel, Annabel, Rebecca.

[AnnabelleDarling]

I like it, I know a little Jane, nn Janey. V unusual these days

Jane, Zzzzzzzz
Sorry my DDs have very simple classic names, but Jane is the dullest flatest name on the planet.

You just can't say Hi I'm Jane, without it being an anticlimax.

[Driveway]

I think it's a great name. Not showy, confident in itself.

[squoosh]

It's a bit boring.

[MrsJohnDeere]

Dull.

I have it as a middle name (along with 99% of people my age) and loathe it!

[fairnotfair]

Love it.

[joanofarchitrave]

Adore it.

Nice with a season name, or a family surname/male relative name?

Jane Winter
Jane Howard

[ChickenMe]

I love it. Underused. Lovely name IMO.

[WhereHas1999DissappearedToo]

It's dull, meh and dated, sorry.

[sandberry]

Lovely and very uncommon, is less popular than Favour, Janelle, Isadora, Seraphina and Gaia hardly popular names and yet everyone will be able to say and spell it, what more could you want in a name?

A longer middle name balances it out. I'd rethink if your surname is one syllable or very common though, Jane Jones or Jane Smith could be a bit much.

[Jellaby]

I think it is gorgeous, understated chic. Like Kate.

[exWifebeginsat40]

i am a Madeleine and when i was little i SO wanted to be called Jane. it's so pretty..

[Timeandtune]

I like Jane. Classic and timeless.

[nomoretether]

I really like Jane :)

[Nocomet]

If you don't say it with a forced smile, which makes you look silly, it just sort of falls away into nothing.

[pilates]

I like it
