Jane.

[PigOnStilts]

Heard a Jane being summoned in the park today. Pretty little blonde thing on a scooter. She wore it well....

It's a pretty good name, right?

Yes and should be due a comeback soon I'd say, very good name indeed.

There's nothing wrong with it, but there are so many other nicer names I'd have to have about 1000 DDs before I used it....

It is an excellent name. I would have used it myself but my mother beat me to it.

It is very pretty in its simplicity.....but somehow it doesn't seem special enough for me. It will have a huge comeback at some stage.

You tend to associate names with people you knew..

Jane was the smelly kid in my class

I liked her a lot but when I met her five years after school she had several kids in buggies and alopecia. I couldn't name a child Jane.

I hope she is healthy and happy now, she was a nice girl and deserves to be.

I really like it. I think it would stand out (in a good way) against the very frilly girl's names that are popular now.

Funnily enough DH and I were just saying you don't come across many baby Janes today. Possibly due to Baby Jane.

This discussion was started because I was talking about "Jane who went to my college". "What, Goth Jane?" "No." "Sporty Jane?" "No, she was Jayne". "Preppy Jane?". "No, mad Jane!" "Mad Jane who..."
"No, the other mad Jane."

Love Jane - very biased though, its been used in 3 generations of my family.

I like it! Pretty and simple - refreshing! And good for when she's growing up and looking for jobs and stuff too... And unusual nowadays!

Sweet. Although not sure what good it will do looking for jobs!

Janie is prettier. Jane is about plain.

I love it. You don't get many Annes to the dozen now either and that's another beautiful, simple name.

Jane is really nice.

I just think there's a 1959s, 1960s vibe about it, and think people should love it!

It is like Rose - makes a bleurgh middle name but a brilliant first name.

Plain jane

Ooh love it! If I hadn't already decided, this would sway me!

Simple, unfussy, appealing. Know two over 50 and one under 20. Stands out nowadays as quite novel, funny how fashions change.

I just think it is so dull I can't get over plain Jane.

plus the Jane I knew at school was always trying to make it cooler or dress it up.

she was

Jaine

Jayne

Jaynie-May

Jane was my Nanas name and the name I plan to use as a middle name if we have a girl next time. I don't think I would use it as a first name personally as I prefer others, but I think it is a very pretty name

"Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" Does anyone else remember that Bette Davis/Joan Crawford film?
I love the name Jane.

Haha I didn't mean it'll get her a job - just meant Jane Smith is likely to be taken more seriously that Tallulah-Bliss Smith, if you know what I mean...

Don't be silly.

love love love
