Lane for a boy?

Last name starts with N.

Does Lane sound feminine though?

Re: Lane for a boy?

  • I really like that name but it's a no go for Dh.

    I love it as a boys name although I know both males and females with that name...so it's not gender specific to me at all...although I much prefer it on a boy.

  • The only Lane I knew was a former student's late father. His ex-wife's name was Lynn.

  • I just came across it on Nymbler. When I try and picture a boy named Lane I think of a total cutie pie with nerdish qualities, lol.

  • It makes me think of Nathan Lane, which is not a bad thing at all.

    I like it. Go for it :-)

    I guess you got your answer!?

  • I love that name, its a middle name option if we have a boy. Im from the south, and grew up in the rodeo circut so it just reminds me of Lane Frost, one of the greatest bull riders of all time, and if that makes me lame, then Im totaly fine with it :)
  • I work with someone named Lane (male) and I have always liked it. I think of him of course, but he is a super nice guy ( a little nerdy, haha)

  • My dad is Kenneth Lane, and I've considered naming any boys I have after him.
  • It sounds more feminine than masculine to me, but not overtly so. Not like Chelsea or Ashley or Leslie or any other "unisex" names. :)
  • Yes, I think it sounds feminine.

  • It's ok, but I also think it's more feminine...
  • I know an adult male named Lane so it doesn't sound too feminine to me.

  • I like it! I prefer it for a boy.
  • IMO, Lane is a boy's name.... And I SO want your last name to be Myer. Lane Myer is the character name in the BEST movie ever from the 80s! Better Off Dead! LOVE that movie! Ha!

    It makes me think of Blane from Pretty in Pink -- "Blane??  Blane??  That's not a name, that's an appliance!"
  • I have a female friend with the mn Lane and never thought much about it. However, when I hear the name Lane for a fn I immediately think male. I don't know anyone personally with this fn, but I am from the midwest and it seems to be a southern name. Not sure if I am right though. I think it is a good name!
  • I love it--it reminds me of Layne Staley from Alice in Chains. My husband hates it though.
  • My friend named her little boy Lane. It's sooo cute!
