My shortlist is currently undergoing major reconstruction, and one name that has really caught my attention is:
[name_f]Jane[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I think it has so much going for it. Classic, simple, straight-forward, beautiful, adaptable. I’m a big fan of [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Eyre[/name_f], which is what attracted me to the name in the first place - the book means a lot to me (it’s one of my enduring favourites) and I love how this offers a really strong literary namesake.
So, safe to say, [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is going straight onto my list of forerunners for any future kiddos.
But I can’t think of a middle name that lives up to this wonderful first.
I’d like the middle to complement it well, so probably not monosyllabic or straight-forward (though I am open to all suggestions). But at the name time, I don’t want it to be too frilly and fussy, or too trendy.
Basically, I need a fairly uncommon, strong, meaningful, attractive middle to go with [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. If anyone is familiar with the book, I’d really appreciate a middle that shares the tone, or relates in some way to [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Eyre[/name_f]. But I’ll take any and all suggestions, so by no means is that a firm rule!
Thanks in advance.
