Is Jane boring?

[eatsleepbreastfeedrepeat]

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

Yes very dull.

I love Jane.

Don’t do it. She will always feel like a plain Jane next to a Nina.

A young Jane would be very refreshing.

I think we perceive it as boring because it was EVERY girl's middle name in the 80, if it wasn't Louise.

We'll probably view the ubiquitous Rose, Grace and May the same in 30 years' time.

Second pp suggestion of Gianna-beautiful.

I prefer Jane to Nina! Nina is nice but similar feel to olivia, Ella and other popular names. Jane is more distinctive to me these days

I agree, I think a lot of people believe Jane-is-boring because a lot of other people think Jane-is-boring. It stands out now.

It's no more boring than any other short simple name. And in fact as a spanish speaker, although there's no eñe on the second n in Nina, it does read like 'girl', so I really disagree that Jane, sister of Nina, is going to feel short-changed in the name stakes!

@Number3BigCupOfTea

Well I hope you’re right as I always felt like a plain Jane next to my sisters name, and I am a Jane lol !!!!

Yes. It's boring and it has a reputation for being boring. It's my middle name and I hate it, may as well not have bothered.

Nina is lovely though.

I prefer Jane to Nina. Then again I think a lot of the names mention on baby name threads are awful. I think Olive is awful so is Norah. I really dislike Stanley and Arthur type names too. It's horses for courses and each to their own opinion.

I really like it

I'm 37 and never met a Jane

It feels sassy and funky

Really really dislike Jane, it’s v boring and I’ve never met a Jane able to carry it off through force of personality yet.
(Actually, having said that my Gran was Jane but called Jean from being a baby - not massively keen on Jean either but it’s a bit feistier than Jane).
Nina is lovely, Jane would definitely feel short changed. Like the suggestion of Lara with Nina.

Strange I've never met a Jane who want a great person and plenty of them were anything but plain most of them very attractive with lots of personality.
Likewise most of the Graces I've met have not exactly been ballerina material.

Same with the hated Clair though. Most Clair I know are very attractive and quite fiesty. It's just a name. Most Ambers do not have red hair. Lots of Ebonys are not black. Likewise most Hunters will not grow up to be hunters!!!!

My middle name and I find it so bland

Not boring, it's refreshing

It is a bit dull imo, I'm afraid.
