Lorraine Jane or Jane Lorraine?

[name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering what someone else thinks about these two names paired together, I love the simplicity of [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and the nostalgia of [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. But how does the names together sound to your ears. Would greatly appreciate feedback, thank you!

I’m also open to any suggestions, I dont care for trendy names, or names that are very overused. I prefer names that are unique and maybe a little old fashioned like, (Mahalia, Lou, Augustine, Sarah or Sarai, Dorothy, or Noelle).

I think [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] has a better flow to it. The names rhyme a bit but if that’s not an issue to you (and I do think it sounds ok as [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f]— it’s a bit much with [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] in my opinion) then I think it’s very sweet and classic!

If you do end up wanting something similar that rhymes less, [name_f]Jade[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] or [name_f]Jana[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] might be alternatives if you’re open to suggestions.

As an aside, [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] doesn’t get enough love on here so I’m glad to see someone else loving it :slight_smile: I especially love it with nn [name_u]Raine[/name_u].

Thank you, [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] was my first choice but I think I started to second guess it and thought it sounded a little repetitive.

Jane sounds so refreshing as a first name nowadays! [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] is beautiful :blush:

unfortunately, in my accent, they rhyme pretty much completely. I think the names match stylistically, but I would avoid putting them together as they sound a little silly. I would say, however, that [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] has a slightly better flow (because there is another syllable between the two rhyming parts), but it’s still a bit awkward. I love to see [name_f]Jane[/name_f] as a first name, though!

Jane [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] flows best but they are a tad rhynmey. [name_f]Sarai[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] would be lovely

I’m really not keen on the fact they rhyme to be honest, it’s a bit much and kind of sounds like a kids TV presenter… I also think [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] is quite dated. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is pretty timeless but I would combine it with a prettier name as it’s quite plain. For example:

Dorothy [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f]

I think it could work either way, but it is very singsong sounding like a Dr. Seuss character. Personally, I would choose something else to pair with it. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is nice! [name_u]Or[/name_u] maybe [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f].

They rhyme 100% to me so I don’t think either one sounds good. I prefer [name_f]Jane[/name_f] as a first name though, but with a different middle.

I don’t love rhyming names but if the rhyme doesn’t bother you, then I’d go with [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f]. Having the “Lor” in between the rhyming bits helps break it up better. I really like the suggestion of [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]!
