Dull plain boring unimaginative

Love it x

I love it

Jane
Mary
Ann
Jean
Julia or Juliet ( without the Etta)
Rachel
Ruth
Clare
Rosemary
Elizabeth (Beth, Eliza,Lizzie etc etc)
Margaret (Meg, Molly, Peg, Peggy, Marg, Margie(with or without a hard g))
Eleanor
Caroline
Catherine

I like Jayne better than Jane.

Other suggestions:
Ellen
Fay / Faye
Anna

Sorry Jane is boring, it's not even got the benefit of sounding nice or having an interesting meaning or a shortening. Classic but not old or dull is hard.

Beth
Maria
Lucy
Clara
Eliza
Alice
Isobel
Beatrix

Love Anna!

what about

Roseanne/a
Janie
Eliza
Iris
Pamela
Meredith
Isobel
Annabel
Juliet
Genevieve
Vivienne

Pippa
Penelope
Claire
Clara
Cecilia

Fern
Belle
Christine
Elise
June
Lesley
Sue
Carol (Coral if you want to snazz it up)
Helen
Barbara

Whatever happened to Baby Jane?

@toastofthetown

Chavvy names usually double barrelled or a normal name spelt strangely eg Kayleigh spelt Caylee or Kaylee

Lily -Mae
Chelsea -Rae
China -Rose
Tilly -Tia
Bobbi - Jo
Jodie -Jane

Love it! Refreshing these days.

Helen or variations thereof: Helena, Eleanor, etc.

Alice?

June is cute, Margot though maybe overused now.

Although I know a 27yr old Jane and she is the loveliest person so I think it’s a great name thanks to her.

Jane is my middle name, like 50% of the girls born in my decade (the other 50% have Louise as their middle name). I definitely think "plain Jane" and feel uninspired by it. I feel as though it just lacks something, which prevents it from being interesting or pretty, the same way I would feel about Ann.
I think Julia is a super pretty J name that stands out among current naming trends without being dull.

Timeless. Boring as a middle name. The Jayne spelling is awful.

Cora
Esme
Primrose
Martha

Jayne/Jane is a lovely name. It's timeless - I have taught a handful over 20 years.

I like it to Mary, Rachel, Rebecca - simple yet pretty names that work well as a child and an adult.

Interestingly some of the names mentioned are really dated.

I like June but it will be a winter baby so it feels a bit wrong!

Can’t use Alice or Elizabeth either sadly.

Emily? Is that just as boring?

@KirstenBlest the spelling Jayne is from old Welsh.

Neither Emily or Jane are boring. Emily is much more popular.
