Re: Lainey?
in reply to a message by frances1
In the UK I've never met a Lainey. It strikes me as an American sounding name and I don't think it's popular here at all. I've known women and girls named Elaine, and none went by Lainey. I've known one Leni, pronounced the same way, short for Helena.
1.)What sort of girl does the name Lainey conjure up
~ A little girl, American, big bows in her hair, perhaps a bit bratty. Her parents treat her like a little princess.
I quite like it as a pet name. It could stand alone, but then I find it cutesy and little-girlish. I'd rather say Delaney, Alaina or Helena as the full form.
