Hey all!
What do you think of the name [name_f]Jane[/name_f]? Too plain or not really anymore?
Thanks 
I find it very plain. I knew a [name_f]Jane[/name_f] back in elementary school and she was pretty exciting. I never thought such a plain name like [name_f]Jane[/name_f] fit her very well. I know Iām probably alone in my thoughts about [name_f]Jane[/name_f] though soā¦
I like [name_f]Jane[/name_f] 
Iād prefer [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], though <3
This is probably my second favorite name right now. I think itās beautiful and classic, and unexpected at this point. [name_f]Janie[/name_f] for a little on is precious. I love [name_f]Jane[/name_f]! Unfortunately, [name_f]Janie[/name_f] 100% rhymed with my SOās last name so Iāll probably have to give it up.
I donāt think itās plain at all. So many people want flowery, extravagent, or unique names nowadays (which is fine!) but strong, beautiful, and classy [name_f]Jane[/name_f] would set a girl apart!
I actually really like [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. Itās not at all popular (which is great), and it has a lovely vintage feel, refined and creative or artsy (a bit like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]). I feel like itās completely unfair that it still has that plain [name_f]Jane[/name_f], boring and dull image. Plus I quite like [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_m]Bennet[/name_m] from Pride and Prejudice (way more than [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] anyway). If I met a really energetic and excitable [name_f]Jane[/name_f], itād be great. I think it would make a pretty good double first too; [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or something similar.
Iāve always loved [name_f]Jane[/name_f], Iāve met many adult janes and thereās allways such fun people too. Could be [name_f]Jayne[/name_f] if you want to add some modern flair. I think jay is a fun nn if need be. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is less common these days so stands out a bit more and fun names like [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] & [name_f]Maryjane[/name_f] and [name_f]Bella[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] add too it a bit of you want 
I [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] the name [name_f]Jane[/name_f], always have ever since I was a little girl. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband isnāt as fond of it and considers it to be boring and plain and old ladyish. Iām still fighting my corner for calling our daughter [name_f]Jane[/name_f]!
I love, love, love [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I would have it on my own list, but my best friend is using it to honor her mother.
I love [name_f]Jane[/name_f] because a [name_f]Jane[/name_f] can be sweet, or adventerous. I picture [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Porter[/name_u] from [name_m]Tarzan[/name_m], a little girl in a lace nighty, and my favorite [name_f]Jane[/name_f] Goodall.
There is nothing plain about [name_f]Jane[/name_f] Goodall.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] it, but yes, lots of people will think it āboringā at first. I love it as just [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. A great choice if you have a longer surname too.
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] is one of the few simple names I like. I prefer it spelt [name_f]Jayne[/name_f] though.
I like [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I think itās pretty and sweet and simple in a good way. It has a similar feel to me as [name_f]Grace[/name_f] without being as popular.
I really like [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I think the term āplainā just needs to be translated to āsimple and cleanā instead of a āfrilly or over cluttered name" - [name_f]Evangelina[/name_f] or [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] come to mind as an opposite.
I honestly think that [name_f]Jane[/name_f] needs to be in a first name place for her to get her due. As a middle name I feel like [name_f]Jane[/name_f] sort of becomes the shy wall flower as a first name she can be beautiful in her simplicity. Easily approachable, unassuming, classy and true.
I like [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. Itās a smart name. Its simple, chic, feminine, sophisticated, strong, underused, vintage, familiar,ā¦ what isnāt this name? Everyone knows how to pronounce it, as opposed to some other classics like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] which have a plethora of pronounciations. Itās adorable for a little girl and will translate well as she ages. Strangely enough, Iāve never met a [name_f]Jane[/name_f] before, but my motherās name is [name_f]Janet[/name_f]. [name_f]Janie[/name_f] could be a possible nn, but Iām opposed to using nicknames for [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. Iām all about the nicknames, but any nickname for [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is really destroying the nobleness of the name. It is beautiful as-is. Why change [name_f]Jane[/name_f]? [name_f]Jane[/name_f], like [name_f]Mary[/name_f], has had such a long history, but unlike [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] has not carried on in the past decades. A shame, really. Iām all for naming your daughter [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
I made a thread for this a while back because Iām a HUGE fan of sweet and simple [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
I love it more as first name than a middle because I feel like itās a common āgo toā middle for parents who donāt know what else to use.
But as a first name, I adore it
Like others here, I know a [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (and I have only ever met one, so it seems a rare name to me) who is a fun, smart, honest person with a sense of adventure and an awesome personality.
The best selling point: There are sooo many good songs about [name_f]Jane[/name_f]!!! From many different artists! And so many famous characters are [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u], [name_m]Tarzan[/name_m] & [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Eyre[/name_f] - and she gets the best adventures and the best romances. I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] is stunning - not plain at all! I find it sweet, sleek, tailored, sophisticated, and strong. It calls to mind [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Eyre[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_m]Bennet[/name_m], plus [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] Goodall. So many wonderful associations.
I never used to like [name_f]Jane[/name_f], but that wasnāt because it was too plain or anything, (I think that image is very outdated), it just wasnāt my style. Now, I quite like [name_f]Jane[/name_f] as itās a classic that isnāt over-the-top popular. At least not yet.
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] was so overused in all the 1940ās primary readers and carried on for 20 years and them some. It was so worn out it was put to bedā¦now after 50 years a [name_f]Jane[/name_f] would almost sound refreshing!
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] is a classic with tons of history behind it, that will never become dated. There have been so many great [name_f]Janes[/name_f] in history and pop culture. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] is one of my favourite authors. The name itself is beautiful in its sweet and unpretentious but regal simplicity. It could suit any type of girl. I love [name_f]Jane[/name_f] paired with a frillier, more dramatic name- my favourite combinations are [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Araminta[/name_f], and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]. Iāve only known a handful of [name_f]Janes[/name_f] in real life; itās definitely not overused or too common.
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] is one of those names I want to love, but really donāt. Especially as I am such a huge [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] fan.
It seems very ordinary and plain to me, probably mostly due to the fact that nearly every female I know has the middle name [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (or [name_f]Jayne[/name_f]).
