No, I don't believe it's a generational thing. There was only one Jane in my high school. Although I am quite a bit older than most of the posters here, Jane wasn't particularly popular at the time of my birth, either.

It's just a personal opinion. I'm very aware that Jane is not widely given as a first name these days and hasn't been for a long while. Nevertheless, because it was so widely used for so long, centuries and centuries, it can't escape a boring, generic image for me.

My name is a form of Jane, but I'd rather have my name than Jane. I couldn't abide being called Jane.
