I'm naming my baby Jayna.
And wondered if anyone on here has the name, and if so, do you hate it or like it?
And have you met anyone else in the UK with it

Also, I've been told i should spell it Jaina, "as it looks classier." 🙄
Maybe it does look "classier", but Jayna seems pretty and light hearted to me. it's also unlikely to be mispronounced, whereas Jaina could be pronounced J-eye-na, and i know kids can be spiteful

I prefer Jane, but if you’re set on the name I wouldn’t have bothered making a thread on here 🙈.

I do agree Jayna looks better than Jaina though.

Fair enough.
I just wanted to see if anyone else had the name or new anyone with the name, and there thoughts on it, as it's an old name but I've never met anyone with it in the UK. And also the opinion on the spelling.

Jana, but might get Ya-na or Jay-na
