Is Jane boring?

[eatsleepbreastfeedrepeat]

Is Jane boring, and does it sound ok with sister Nina?

Forget about Jane having the association with being dull. Say it out loud, it sounds like two bells being changed together. The sound of the name is beautiful

Really don’t like it, sorry. It seems like a lazy choice of name, particularly when you contrast it with Nina.

She would be the only Jane of her age, so even if it sounds out-dated to some, it would actually be rare. By the time she grows up it will probably have come back and she'll be considered an adult with a very cool name!

Having said that Janey sounds fresher and sweeter than Jane to me (especially for a child) and goes well with Nina.

A sister for Nina to me would be Rosalie, Lois, Maeve. Not Jane.

But I don’t dislike Jane. I think it could suit a sassy little girl quite well.

If it’s simple, 1 syllable names you like, maybe Fleur, Elle, Leigh, Claire, Kate

I actually think Jane is nice but could you spice it up? Janella or Janessa or Emma-Jane, Sarah-Jane
I don't know. Jane is nice but Nina is a bit more fun. Jane could be more diverse. I like Jeane too or Jaine

Very

Lazy?! It’s a lovely, classic beacon in a sea of modern identikit names which really are boring as they’re so common! I’m really surprised by all the negative opinions.

I like Ruth and Alice

I always think of ‘Plain Jane Superbrain’ showing my age! In all seriousness I do think you have to be attractive to carry it off otherwise you are just plain with a plain name, a bit depressing when you think about it. It really suits Jane Seymour and Jane Asher.

Nina is okay but Jane is prettier.
(Also Janie)
Nina and Clara
Nina and Elise
Nina and Juliet
Nina and Miriam

I think Zara goes well with Nina. But if you like the name Jane, use it it doesn't matter what we think lol

No, it has an elegant simplicity, especially as against names like Ottilie, Elodie, Emily etc. I am also quite fond of Jean.

I think its a nice name, but it doesn't go particularly well with Nina.

Jane is a lovely name, definitely due a comeback. Considered it for my DD (who is an Anna)

Someone else suggested Astrid & I agree that goes well with Nina.

No it's not.

But I would call her Claudia.

Nina & Nancy
Nina & Naomi
Nina & Neve

Nina & Jane

Don't like Jane sorry.
Nina & Jade?

What about Jade?

Jane is a million times better than Jade.

Jane is my favourite name ever. I love it. It doesn't work with my surname or we would have used it.

Whilst I think if plain Jane the Superbrain I actually think that for a little girl now it's lovely.

Children would not have those sorts of thoughts as it would be an unusual name to them.

I think Jane is a lovely, romantic, traditional name (always makes me think of the wonderful Jane Eyre) but because it's so uncommon now compared to past use, it doesn't really fit that well with Nina to me - Nina has stayed fairly steady in popularity outside the top 100, although it is now slowly rising.

Similar style names that "fit" with Nina to me (shortish, quite international feeling, classic but neither super popular or rarely used) - Eve, May, Lara, Sara, Rose/Rosa, Elena/Helena, Julia/Juliet, Lydia, Claudia, if that's any help?

I think it's a nice name. No idea why it has to 'go with' the sister's name really. Joan seems more boring to me and Janessa et al seem very try hard.

I really like Jane, it's beautiful to me and it makes me think of Jane Austen.

Easy to spell and a classic name. Everyone knows it but it's unusual amongst young children.

Fair warning however I also like names such as Mary, Emma and Anne.

I'm a Jane and hate it.

I love Jane. You could spell it Jayne and nn Janey is very sweet.
