Lane/Layne

What do you think about this name? I noticed this name has been used quite often for girls in my area. It is used more as a middle name instead of a first name though.

It's ok. I would like it as a NN for something over a full formal name.

I like it but prefer Elaine.

It's not something I would ever use.

I've always loved Lainey and Laine for a girl but it never quite made the cut for my dd's. I grew up with a gal named Laine though so it's familiar to me.

I like Layne because of Layne Staley from Alice in Chains. I wouldn't use Lane for a girl because of the store Lane Bryant.

It sounds like a nn to me, and as a nn I like it. Laine or Lainey could work as a nn for Elaine.

An acquaintance from college named her son Lane. He is stinking cute! It's now a boy name to me.

I was prepared to tell you how much I loved it....until I found out it was a girl. Definitely not for a girl.

Lane is a boy name. I was going to use it until I moved out to BFE where there are a ton of boys named Lane. Reason? He's a famous cowboy.

Lane to me is masculine. Probably because I instantly think of Lane Staley from Alice in Chains - which is even further reason for me not to use that name.

My favorite professor ever was named Lane.

I know some girls with the middle name Lane or Laine. I think it's cute.
