Dane?

[name_f]My[/name_f] fiance mentioned [name_u]Dane[/name_u] last week and I hadn’t really thought anything of it, but I remembered it while in bed last night (as you do!) and I think I really like it! Our favourite atm is [name_u]Dylan[/name_u], but it’s pretty popular so [name_u]Dane[/name_u] seems like a nice alternative.

What do you think of [name_u]Dane[/name_u]?

We had 3 names on our middle name list: [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] & [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] but none of them really stand out to us. The only one that we think really works is [name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] but we’re not sure we like it enough, so we’d love some middle name options too!

I like both [name_u]Dane[/name_u] and [name_u]Dylan[/name_u]. Funny thing, I know more Danes than Dylans. I think I very slightly prefer [name_u]Dylan[/name_u]. [name_m]Both[/name_m] are very handsome.

I like [name_u]Dane[/name_u]. However, my mind immediately conjures up a Great [name_u]Dane[/name_u] dog.

[name_u]Dane[/name_u] is one of my favorite male names!

It is strong and soft both.

Masculine without being unduly macho.

[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] sounds nice.

[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Robert[/name_m]? I do love [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] too.

I have a little cousin named [name_u]Dane[/name_u], and he wears it so well. :slight_smile: The Great [name_u]Dane[/name_u] connection actually rarely comes up. I think it’s a very handsome, unique name. Here are some middle name suggestions (there may be some repeats of what has already been said):

[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]

[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] is great! What’s not to like?
I love [name_u]Dane[/name_u]! It isn’t heard much, aside from comedian/actor [name_u]Dane[/name_u] Cook. I also have a cousin that used the name many years ago.
Dade is cool too. I heard it in a movie when I was younger.

I like [name_u]Dane[/name_u] but at the same time, the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title was the dog breed, so I wouldn’t use it for that reason. As for [name_u]Dylan[/name_u], don’t be swayed by its popularity, it’s a great name!

I like the underused [name_u]Dane[/name_u]. Because I grew up watching 90210, I can’t shake the association with [name_u]Dylan[/name_u]. I do agree that your mn options sound a lot better with [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] than with [name_u]Dane[/name_u]. Here a few middles to consider for [name_u]Dane[/name_u]:

[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]
[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Mathias[/name_m]
[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m]
[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Seymour[/name_m]
[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Stuart[/name_m]
[name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]

And I second [name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]!

[name_u]Dane[/name_u] is great name! I’m a big dog lover (semi-pun(s) intended) so I wouldn’t think any reference to a Great [name_u]Dane[/name_u] would be offensive. I know a guy named [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Dane[/name_u] who goes by [name_u]Dane[/name_u]. [name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is cool.

[name_u]Dane[/name_u] sounds lovely but one connection instantly sprang to mind.The word “dane” is also used as a noun to refer to someone who is Danish/of Danish descent, so it could cause misunderstanding. But if you do not mind that, then it is a lovely name to use.
