We're from the south and so we love double names. We would like to use Jane. We have definitely ruled out Mary Jane and we are looking for suggestions as we have only come up with a few possibilities.
I'm all for double names (NC) but aren't they usually family names by tradition?
I didn't think so. I love double names too but have only heard a very small percentage that included family names.
Around
here its usually names likes, "Mary Margaret, Anna Katherine, etc". Of
course there are always the "Mary Crawford"s but I think the trend has been moving away from that for a long time as it just doesn't sound very feminine.
OP, I like Anna Jane, Ella Jane, Laura Jane, Lacy Jane, Molly Jane, Hannah Jane, Virginia Jane, Rebecca Jane....
One of our names on our list (hypothetical kids) is Savannah Jane. Jane is one of those names that is nice and classic so it's easy to pair with another name. I'm also biased towards Sarah Jane (I'm a Sarah). Can't go wrong with 2 classic names.
"Let it Be"
"I wanted it to be you, I wanted it to be you so badly"
Love Jane! Its on our short list. Sarah Jane was the name of Aunt Pittypat from Gone with the Wind. We are considered Emmeline Jane. And I LOVE Lily. Its my special indulgence name that DH vetoed.

Re: Double Name with Jane
I taught several kids with family Surname (mostly paired with Mary) double names and those are fine, but not what we are going for.
I like Sarah Jane.
Jane Ann is cute too. Those are MIL and my mom's names, so it would be cute for us.
DS plays with an Ella Jane.
I love Eliza Jane.
Yes, like the song.

I love, love, love double names.
Liza Jane is my favorite, but the ones you've listed are nice as well.
I really like Eliza Jane and Liza Jane, but wasn't sure if the song would be the first thing everyone would think of.
If they do, so what? Elizabeth Mitchell, a kiddie musician that we love, sings an awesome version of it. It could be her theme song!

Ooh, you could also consider Eleanor Jane, who could be called Nora Jane, Nellie Jane, Nella Jane, etc.
"Let it Be"
"I wanted it to be you, I wanted it to be you so badly"
I'm Sarah Jane (fn/mn). I went through phase when I tried to get people to call me by both names, but it never caught on.
So, another vote for Sarah Jane.
I also liked the pp's suggestion of Anna Jane.
