[Opinions] Re: Danae
I know a Janaya and a Genneya. They both go to my dance studio. I also like Mae. Hmmm I think Janae is at least as trendy as Hayley, Taylor and Kayley, but I don't mind.

Huh, not sure she's trendy, but just spent a minute perusing Janae's popularity. Looks like she was in the 700s for about 10 years, then in the 400/500 range for about 20 years, and now is back in the 700s. Higher than I thought, actually. But no huge jumps/dips in popularity, really.

Hmm but it doesn't have a long history. Also it sounds very trendy. Kind of like Kyra which isn't really popular by itself but includes the common KY sound or something like Kaylyn which isn't actually common either but sounds trendy. Also I think when you combine spellings Janae ranks higher. Just looked it up, it's at #403, spellings combined.Not that I have anything against it, it's nice. But it has rather trendy sounds, the JAY sound (as in Jayden, Jade, Jada etc), the AY sound (as in Kaylee, Hayley, Taylor etc). I guess another good example is Jaycee which is uncommon but trendy sounding.Janaya is #140, when you combine spellings.Here's the list: http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/pop/2010/2010xx01.html
