Do you think Jayna Janae sounds too sing-songy? The names are prolly from the same root, aren't they? How about Jayna Danae or Jayna Luray?

Jayna & Janae are both on my list! I think I am deffinetely going to use Janae someday because it's a great alternative to Renae which goes well with many FNs. I think both names are cute! :-)

In case you didn't know, Danae is pronounced DAN-ay-ee.Jayna Janae is far too sing-songy, sorry :-(

I've only even heard Danae pronounced DUH-nay, like same way Janae would be pronounced JUH-nay.

It might be like a lot of Greek names that are widely pronounced in strange ways because people make a guess. DAN-ay-ee is definitely correct. DUH-nay would be the equivelant of pronouncing Zoe "zoh".

I really don't like Jayna Danae or Jayna Luray. Jayna Janae is not only too sing songy, but come from the same name so I wouldn't use that. The other combos are just nmsaa.

Jayna and Janae are both modern variations of Jane, so Jayna Janae is a bit redundant. Jayna is nms, but I like Danae (it's pronounced dan-ay-ee, btw, not like Janae which is jan-ay).
