plain jane a sibling name?

in Baby Names

 My first daughters name is Elenore Pauline (lastname). I feel like it is a very beautiful, eloquent name.  But lately I have really been loving the name Jane. But I feel that in comparison it's kinda plain? 

What do you all think?

    Nothing wrong with Jane at all.... It's only plain if you buy into everyone else's opinions about it.

    I think it's pretty and sounds good with your DD's name.

    Jane is a lovely, timeless name & IMO, goes very well with Elenore/Eleanor (also a beautiful, classic name).

    in my opinion, Jane is a great name and is somewhat uncommon for babies now (i think) so it will sound good with Elenore.

    It's pretty, it's timeless and it's special because it'll be your little darling.

    Love it.  I don't think it's plain; I think it's elegant and romantic (think Jane Austen, Jane Eyre).

    I love the name Jane.  And it goes fine with Eleanor.  Maybe you could make it more un-plain with a longer, less traditional middle name?

    Ditto....and it's not very common any more, either, which is a plus in my book.  I like someone else's suggestion of a longer or maybe exotic or femminissa middle name to pair it with. 

    Jane Anastasia....Jane Cecilia....Jane Arabella....

    I have only known 2 Janes in my life and I loved them both.

    I also love the name! However, maybe if you paired it with a great middle name and THEN compared them, the two would sound more "even". Because I kinda sort get what you mean but the comparison is not fair at this point :) kwim?

    But I think Jane is a fabulous first name with your DD's name!!

    Jane is so gorgeous. I LOVE it. I don't think it's plain next to your dd's name. I think I will add it to my long list...

    Ooh, I really like Jane Cecilia!

    Jane is a beautiful name and I think Eleanor and Jane sound like good sister names.

    I think Jane and Elenore sound very good together, similar in style, etc. ?You could give Jane a wilder middle name in case you are concerned that Jane is too plain. ?I think it is a beautiful name.

    I don't think it's "plain" at all and it goes perfectly with your daughter's name. I think the name is going to make a comeback any time now. I hear a lot of people mentioning it.

    This.  I don't think Jane is considered "plain" anymore, because it seems really underused right now.  It's lovely, and if we didn't have a one-syllable LN, I would definitely consider it.
