Want to honour grandparents - one was [name_f]Jenny[/name_f] ([name_f]Janet[/name_f]- but dislike [name_f]Janet[/name_f]) and the other is [name_m]Joe[/name_m] ([name_m]Joseph[/name_m]).
I like both nn [name_f]Janie[/name_f] and [name_f]Joanie[/name_f]…
To go with [name_m]Alec[/name_m] ([name_m]Alby[/name_m]) [name_f]Edith[/name_f] ([name_f]Edie[/name_f]) and [name_m]Orson[/name_m] ([name_u]Sonny[/name_u]).

I like [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. And [name_f]Janie[/name_f] makes a very sweet classic nickname.

I like how classic [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is compared to [name_u]Joan[/name_u] given how to me [name_u]Joan[/name_u] is a bit dated! [name_f]Edith[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is just darling, and I think it suits the sibling set the best too!

Jane! I like both names but [name_u]Sonny[/name_u] and [name_f]Joanie[/name_f] are a little too close.

Jane! I do also love [name_u]Joan[/name_u], but I think [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and especially [name_f]Janie[/name_f], sounds better with the sibset. I know a middle schooler named [name_f]Jane[/name_f] who goes by [name_f]Janie[/name_f], and she wears it very well! Good luck!

We are using [name_f]Jane[/name_f] as a middle for our daughter after my husband’s aunt. So obviously I like that one!
But I like [name_u]Joan[/name_u] a lot as well – it always makes me think of [name_u]Joan[/name_u] of [name_m]Arc[/name_m]!
They both feel classic (not dated) to me.

Joan has been a big name crush of mine this year and was a hard contender for my recently born kiddo.
I think they’re both great but [name_f]Jane[/name_f] has more of a sweetness and [name_u]Joan[/name_u] comes off as stronger. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is timeless, and to me [name_u]Joan[/name_u] is vintage and about to make a comeback.

If you want to honour both relatives, what about [name_u]Jean[/name_u]. [name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_u]Joan[/name_u] are all different variations of the same name. I must admit, I do prefer [name_u]Jean[/name_u] as it has been a family name .

Both are sweet names & I think [name_u]Joan[/name_u] is due a revival for sure but my favourite is [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
Jane is just understated, elegant and timeless. She has a gorgeous meaning ‘G-d is gracious’ and feels classy. I think [name_f]Jane[/name_f] sounds beautiful with [name_m]Alec[/name_m], [name_f]Edith[/name_f] and [name_m]Orson[/name_m] very whimsical something from a storybook.
