Not common, but boring.
I think it is nice, although a bit plain. Janey is the only nickname I can think of.
It is not very common here, I know a few but none are younger than about 30!
I would go for a longer, more unusual middle name with this, as it's pretty short and uninteresting. Jane Hermione, Jane Alexia, Jane Cassandra etc.

- The only ones I can think of would be J or Jaynie.

I sorry but Jane is so plain!!!
I LOVE Jane- love!!! I live in Ontario, Canada and I don't know any Janes- I'm a teacher as well and have never come across one. It's classic and spunky and so very elegant- a great choice! I don't think it needs a nn- it's perfect on it's own and only one syllable so I think it's fine as is....if pressed, I guess you could use Janie.
Jane isn't too common...I can't think of any little Janes I might have met. Most people think Jane is too plain (probably becaue 'Jane' and 'plain' rhyme!).
The only Jane nicknames I can think of are Janie and Janey, possible Jan. Rochester called Jane 'Janet' in Jane Eyre, however.
Just don't go for Jayne...I can't stand it!

I really dislike this name a lot. Jane is a nice midddle name, but too plain as a first name. Some people may like it, but I don't.
Is it common where you live? NO, but that's a good thing.

Well, Jaynie is obvious. I go by Jenny, which is an old nickname for Jane, before Jennifer became popular. Jenny fits me better than Jayne or Jaynie. Jenny is also popular sounding, which is what I always wanted.
Thanks!
I love Jane. I think it's a beautiful and elegant classic. I don't know a single Jane of any age. My favorite nicknames would be Janie or Jenny.
I personally really like Jane. But I can never get past "PlainJane". Yes, the kid makes the name in the end. But I'd rather give a baby better kick at the can than that.
I think Jane is a very classic and pretty name. I like it because it's historical, and Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books. It's fairly common where I live on a fairly wide range of ages. I don't think that Jane needs any nicknames since it's only one syllable, but I know Janie is one and I suppose Jan could be, although that's more a nickname for Janet.
