[name_m]Hi[/name_m],
I’m pregnant with a girl and love the name [name_u]Layne[/name_u] for our little girl. [name_m]Just[/name_m] like some opinions from other mums about the name for a girl as I know ita more common for a boy.
My husband doesnt mind it but so far he isn’t totally convinced.
Thanks
I know two girls who go by [name_u]Laine[/name_u]. One uses it as a nickname for [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] and the other has a traditional feminine classic middle name. I don’t know any boys with this name with any spelling.
I like it for a girl. If you are not completely in love, maybe use it as a middle name.
I wonder if you might like [name_f]Layna[/name_f] or [name_f]Alaina[/name_f] / [name_f]Alayna[/name_f] with the nickname [name_u]Layne[/name_u].
Or you could consider [name_u]Laney[/name_u] or Laynie.
If he isn’t convinced, how about using it as a nickname instead ? Many beautiful names have [name_u]Layne[/name_u] sound (or something similar) in it, which makes [name_u]Layne[/name_u] a natural nickname.
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Aveline[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Violaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Selene[/name_f]
[name_f]Angeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
Personally know more girls than boys who go by [name_u]Layne[/name_u].
Another suggestion for husband:
[name_f]Elaine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Lane[/name_u]
I know a little girl [name_u]Lane[/name_u] and no boys.
Thank you ladies. It’s still on the maybe list for now 
I like it. For a first full name, to make to make it more feminine maybe, [name_u]Layne[/name_u]-[name_f]Jayne[/name_f]
I know a girl named [name_u]Lane[/name_u] and I just adore her and the name! We even considered it for our little girl!
i love [name_u]Layne[/name_u]!! and she’ll always have a super powerful role model to look up to, [name_u]Layne[/name_u] Beachley
I think it’s adorable!
