Jane

[Whoneedsleep]

Timeless or boring?

Has anyone any ideas of other timeless classics?

Annabel
Helena
Rose
Juliet
Clarissa

Charlotte goes well with your other names as does Caroline , susannah and Annette .

I love it. I do not know a single Jane so I'd hardly say it was unimaginative.

Why low rent @Luredbyapomegranate ? It's the Welsh spelling

I like it

I think it is pretty and I can think of some women with that name like Jane Fonda, Jane Seymour, Jane Grey, Jane Austen but not a huge amount. Some of them are very admirable. It isn't a name i would chose, but still lovely.

Lovely...especially spelt Jayne 🥰

As a middle name yes.
It's not a bad name it is just a bit boring.

@Pieceofpurplesky isn't Sian the Welsh variant of Jane?

I didn't know that before. The girls and women I knew growing up who were called Jayne had no Welsh connection at all, as far as I was aware. Very unlikely that they all did. I think they were more likely named for Jayne Mansfield.

Matthew and Elizabeth ?
Caroline or Jennifer then.
John or James for a bit.

How about keeping the Th theme going?

Matthew, Elizabeth, and Dorothea
Matthew, Elizabeth, and Tabitha
Matthew, Elizabeth, and Ruth
Matthew, Elizabeth, and Theodora

Or stay with a fairly classical name theme -
Matthew, Elizabeth, and Alice
Matthew, Elizabeth, and Susannah
Matthew, Elizabeth, and Cecelia
Matthew, Elizabeth, and Tessa
Matthew, Elizabeth, and Greta
Matthew, Elizabeth, and Felicity
Matthew, Elizabeth, and Rosemary
Matthew, Elizabeth, and Annabel

I personally love it.
Its classic and timeless as long as spelt Jane without adding the Y

Also love Anna, Annie, Mary, Juliet, Louisa,

I love Jane, I think it's a strong name. Due a comeback. Prefer the classic spelling.

Janey is cute

I like it

Endlessly boring. Just like Emily.

@geraniumsandsunshine yes Janey is nice as a nickname. Jane for the given name though; it's just so elegant and classy

I like Jane a lot. It was very popular in my age group but I never found it boring even then, and it would seem quite fresh now.

It's my mother's name (50s baby) and my middle name (70s baby). I used to hate it but I'm starting to feel differently, which suggests to me that it's time for a comeback. Agree with a PP that you'll be just ahead of the curve. So a good choice I think.

Also agree on the spelling Jane. Also love Janey as a NN.

Classic names are:
Helen
Helena
Susan
Susannah
Mary
Elizabeth
Sarah
Belinda
Rosalind
Rosamund
Harriet
Catherine / Katherine
Amanda
Fiona
Arabella
Georgina
Victoria
Lucinda
Miranda
Pamela
Daphne
Rowena
Virginia
Julia
Florence
Isabella
Anne

Emily fits with the siblings names better. So does Anna. Jane is a bit too dull.

How about Lilian?

I forgot
Caroline
Louisa

And Hermione

Jayne is definitely low rent. There’s nothing wrong with Jane, so I guess someone added the y in the 1950s or so to be different. Was it Jayne Mansfield?

Also, Jayne is definitely not Welsh, why would it be? The Welsh version of Jane is Sian.
