Thoughts on Lainey or Laina please

We are having real trouble deciding on a girls name. She is due in 4 weeks, so time is rapidly running out.

What do you reckon to Laina or Lainey -- we quite like them, but worried they are too similar to lane (i.e. passageway).

Been scouring the interweb but no joy -- other thoughts include Juliet.

(This is my first posting, been interesting lurking for a while)

Thanks

Juliet is lovely.

Lainey and Laina are not my thing with these spellings but I love Lena (said the same as Laina)

I like Juliet a lot, and there aren't a whole lot running around.

Good name for an adult as well, can't say that for Lainey/LAina tho#.

Juliet is gorgeous. Lainey and Laine sound like nicknames for Elaine.

Thanks all

Think my fears have been confirmed!

Back to drawing board...

Sounds like a shortening of Elaine.

Juliet is absolutely gorgeous. The others I find hideous. Sorry!
