HelpMiddle name for Jane
The more I think about it, the more I like the name Jane as a first name.
Maybe it's because my own first name is so long and inevitably prompts the question "Yeah, but what do you go by? Liz, Beth...?" that I gravitate toward shorter names or those with obvious nicknames. In any case, I like how direct and to the point Jane is, and I appreciate the historical and literary significance too.
But would a potential daughter like said name? Would she feel the opposite of me (that her name is too short)? Would the inevitable "plain Jane" and "Jane Doe" associations be annoying?
What do you think? What middle name(s) would you partner with it?
Since my last name is just four letters long, I would want something longer than four letters or one syllable. And probably something a little more "out there."
Like maybe Jane Minerva, Jane Lorelei, Jane Seraphina, Jane Ursula.
Then again, maybe something more classic like Jane Margaret, Jane Alexandra, Jane Katherine, etc.
Or maybe somewhere in between like Jane Simone.
