It looks like we’ll probably be going with [name]Jane[/name] if our baby is a girl. There are still other options on the table ([name]Alice[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Violet[/name]), but this is one we both love equally. It’s been my favorite name for as long as I can remember and my husband loves it too what more can I ask for? Plus, we love [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Jane[/name], and [name]Teddy[/name] and [name]Janie[/name] together.
We need help coming up with a middle name, though. We want a lively, jaunty name to balance out the classic nature of [name]Jane[/name] and add a little unexpected punch and spunk. Our son’s name, for example, is [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Milo[/name] and I think we achieved our goal with his name. But we’re struggling to find ‘that’ name for [name]Jane[/name].
Any and all suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!
Thank you!
[name]Love[/name] [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] : D! What about…(watch for initial spelling with some, dunno your last name)…

Anything stick? [name]Hope[/name] it at least helps you think through what kind of sounds/syllable structures/just exactly how unusual you’re interested in!
Like any of these? I thought three or more syllables sounded nice with [name]Jane[/name]. I almost went with [name]Jane[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name] when we were naming our third daughter (I thought it added a nice, whimisical touch), but [name]Jane[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] just felt right to me.
[name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Jane[/name] make a stunning sibset, and [name]Janie[/name] is such a classic, adorable nickname! Here are some ideas right off the bat that I think just sound fabulous with [name]Jane[/name]:
You already have a lot of fantastic suggestions! I love the suggestions of [name]Jane[/name] [name]Eulalie[/name], [name]Jane[/name] [name]Felicity[/name], [name]Jane[/name] [name]Violetta[/name], [name]Jane[/name] [name]Harriet[/name], and [name]Jane[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name].
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Rosamund[/name] ([name]Rosamund[/name] is a bit heavy in most circumstances, but I think that it’s fantastic as a middle name to [name]Jane[/name].)
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Electra[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Dulcinea[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Aveline[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Zara[/name] (Does this flow well? I think I like the flow, but I’m honestly not entirely sure. I suppose it depends on your surname. I really like how much punch this has despite how short it is.)

[name]Hi[/name] there I totally love your suggestion of [name]Alizee[/name] it is gorgeous. I met an [name]Alizee[/name] in Latvia, it is a traditional Latvian name.
[name]Jane[/name] is lovely! I think [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Jane[/name]/[name]Teddy[/name] and [name]Janie[/name] is really cute.
I also love the suggestion of [name]Jane[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]–that actually was going to be my first suggestion before I read any of the other combos! I think [name]Jane[/name] [name]Ariadne[/name] and [name]Jane[/name] [name]Araminta[/name] would be lovely.
I also love the suggestions of [name]Jane[/name] [name]Ramona[/name], [name]Jane[/name] [name]Tirzah[/name], [name]Jane[/name] [name]Calliope[/name], [name]Jane[/name] [name]Zenobia[/name], [name]Jane[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Jane[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name], [name]Jane[/name] [name]Matilda[/name], [name]Jane[/name] [name]Thisbe[/name], [name]Jane[/name] [name]Zinnia[/name], [name]Jane[/name] [name]Annabel[/name], and [name]Jane[/name] [name]Clementine[/name]!
Well thank you! I had no idea it was Latvian – I was thinking of the french name and thought it would be nice since the original poster mentioned liking the name [name]Alice[/name], but [name]Alizee[/name] is a little more spunky and fresh. But how cool to know that it also comes from Latvia, very interesting, thank you.
Sorry for the delayed response! Things have been so hectic getting ready for [name]Christmas[/name] but we were able to sit down today and discuss the suggestions. We love so many of them, but we’ve managed to narrow it down to 5.
My favorite is [name]Jane[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] but I think my husband favors [name]Jane[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]. Which is your favorite out of the five? Which do you feel goes best with [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Milo[/name]?
