Jhayne (pronounced Jane)

[dewsv231]

Thoughts?
Personally, I don't like it and prefer Jane. A good, solid name with substance. Or am I being boring?

My cousins name is spelt Jayne. Don't see a problem either that. I wouldn't be adding a H in there though

I always have to spell my name as its more usually spelt with a C and mine is a K

It's never been the ballache people on mn make it out to be

She sounds like she’s a member of the black dagger brotherhood.

There's a girl at in my DC's school who will forever be known as Isabella Withawhy as in reception she was in a class with Isabella A, Isabella B, Isabella C, Isabella D - and she's an Ysabella. Don't make a Jane Withanhaitch-andawhy.

Quite

Unique spellings are stupid, and this one is peak.

Jayne is established but naff. Jane is fine, will be due a come back shortly so you can be at the vanguard

I think Ysabella is a valid spelling from a different country.

Jane is a lovely name.

My middle name is Jayne.

Adding the h is just stupid though

Jane is far better. Weird spellings are a total pain.

I love the name Jane. That's enough letters though, any extras are superfluous.

Names from my class in the 60s are due a comeback. Jane, Clare, Amanda, Sally, Nicola, Mary. All are lovely but rarely used now.

I'd assume Ysabella was from a country where they have a different alphabet or pronounced their letters differently. Jhayne is just ridiculous though to the point I'm not sure if it's a joke

No way.

If you must spell it differently then Jayne is at least a recognised variation.

I have had a lifetime of spelling my name. It's always misheard and misspelt and it's only got 4 letters! (It's a real name but old-fashioned and people aren't sure how to spell it.) To top it all off, lots of people just seeing my name assume I am a man. Go with Jane.

The name is "Jane". Any convoluted spellings are redundant and pretentious.

Jane - sweet and simple to spell and pronounce

I think Jayne is a prettier name than Jane.

Is the spelling with the h a cultural thing ?

My first thought too!!

Even V mated just a Jane

@DropYourSword

I’m doing a re read and I’ve just finished V’s book. I Started Phury’s this morning, which is my least favourite (appart from the Qhinn but).

Prefer Jane. I’m only MatildaJayne because MatildaJane was already taken, (but not used recently.) No need for the superfluous h.

Why would you misspell her name on purpose?

Never seen this before, but I had a cat called Shayne so I guess it’s similar to that

Expletives fail me! It’s horrible!

Why make something simple so complicated? Jane is lovely.

Is it a spelling from a particular language or country? If it's simply a variant I prefer either of the more standard spellings without an H.

I think Jane is a really nice name - but then I like John so what do I know. I think they are classic and nice names and give themselves to nickname / affectionate names, I would go with the classic Jane. But not my child.

@GeorgiaMcGraw

I prefer Janye. As in Janye West.

@GeorgiaMcGraw I just proper bellowed a laugh at that, thank you

Jayne is a legitimate spelling

Adding the H is not, unless I am unaware of this as a name from another culture/country/language. If this is the case, apologies.
