My middle name is Jane too. I also missed the thread. Though I do think it's a pretty boring name.

msappropriate · 07/07/2007 18:47

I used to think it was a classic but it has all but disappeared.

leCodgy · 07/07/2007 18:48

I don't mind Jane but Jayne is Poncey.

JeremyJayneVile · 07/07/2007 18:48

Woohooo (waves)

Nothing wrong with Jane...

msappropriate · 07/07/2007 18:50

The oddest thing is when someone assumes that you spell it with a y when that would be the far less common spelling.

JeremyJayneVile · 07/07/2007 18:54

Yes, it is faaaar less common with a Y [looking down my nose emoticon]

CakeandFineWine · 07/07/2007 18:57

I'm Jane too
Hi! Its SUCH a boring name tho!

msappropriate · 07/07/2007 18:59

its less common as in frequency but my dear old mum thought with a was a very commmon spelling (as in lower class). Ive always like the name and all names are boring when you know more that two of them.

There were three Jane's in my maths class. We all used to sit together, to buy ourselves time when the teacher called on us for an answer. "Oh, sorry sir, thought you meant the other Jane ..."

It's my middle name too - very dull, could have done without it

Wheelybug · 07/07/2007 20:40

my middle name too. dull. but have long first name and had complicated maiden name so wasn't too bad in the big picture (and probably why it was chosen).

vixma · 07/07/2007 20:52

I was meant to be Lara after Dr Zhivago...
However my mum was sleepy after being induced and having me delivered via forceps.
Cue first visitor my VERY pink frilly paternal auntie who had 6 daughters - 3 sets id twins.
Saw me newly born all a slumber and said
Oooh
Let's call her Melanie Louise
My mum woke up from said coma and barked
No her names... erm
Jane
Nuff said
