So I was thinking of giving him [name_u]Lane[/name_u] or [name_u]Lanie[/name_u] as a middle name as my name is [name_f]Melanie[/name_f], and thought it would cute to incorporate that. [name_u]Lanie[/name_u] flows a little better where as [name_u]Lane[/name_u] seems a little short.
But honestly [name_u]Lanie[/name_u] seems like the girls version of this? what do you think? I’m not sure. His first name will be [name_m]Israel[/name_m].
I’m not totally set on a version of [name_u]Lane[/name_u] for the middle, actually I’m open to anything, its just an idea right now.
thanks
I really like the idea of giving him a middle name that’s a variant of your name! My first thought was go with [name_u]Lane[/name_u], [name_u]Lanie[/name_u] is a bit too feminine. But nameberry lists it as a unisex name, and it doesn’t sound particularly feminine if you think of it, so I actually think it would work just fine as a middle name for your boy! Either [name_m]Israel[/name_m] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] or [name_m]Israel[/name_m] [name_u]Lanie[/name_u] is a great name. I still think I slightly prefer just [name_u]Lane[/name_u] tho ;).
I think incorporating your name is lovely! I would use [name_u]Lane[/name_u] though - [name_u]Lanie[/name_u] is all feminine to me.
[name_m]Israel[/name_m] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] sounds fabulous, in my opinion!
I think [name_m]Israel[/name_m] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] sounds much better particularly if you have a longer last name. That being said I don’t think that [name_u]Lanie[/name_u] is to feminine for a middle name especially one with a special meaning 
I think [name_u]Lane[/name_u] would be better, as [name_u]Lanie[/name_u] does seem a girl’s name to me. Or could you use [name_u]Mel[/name_u]? Or something like [name_m]Melvin[/name_m] or [name_m]Melville[/name_m]?
[name_u]Lanie[/name_u] is feminine to me. I also think [name_m]Israel[/name_m] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] sounds better than [name_m]Israel[/name_m] [name_u]Lanie[/name_u].
I would use [name_u]Lane[/name_u]. [name_u]Lanie[/name_u] is way too feminine for me. [name_m]Israel[/name_m] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] is really pretty.
[name_u]Laine[/name_u] is all girl. [name_u]Lane[/name_u] is a great choice!
[name_u]Lane[/name_u] is great! [name_u]Lanie[/name_u] is very pretty ; )
