HelpDane?
I honestly have no idea why I like the name Dane this week. It's not my style at all and I can think of so much wrong with it. It sounds a little silly - I mean, we don't call our children Spaniard or Swede. It's kind of dated, a Great Dane is a dog breed, and I don't know what to think about the Dane Cook association. I don't even know what I'd pair it with - I hardly like any English names. But apart from all that, I have this weird love for it now. WDYT?

It's my younger brother's name. He was named for his godparents Dana and Danielle. He gets called Dan and Dean a lot by other people, uggh. I have never been a huge fan (I still wish she had gone with Declan or Liam) but I love my little buddy and can't imagine him being anything else. Well, except Dante which he has taken on as some odd nickname. I don't think I have ever heard someone call it dated though...?

I have only known one Dane. He was in a kindergarten class that I taught. I caught myself about to say "That's great, Dane" about a million and two times. Not that he probably would've known the dog breed, but it sounded weird to me and I kept changing it to "Nice job, Dane". :)
I actually don't mind the name at all. I'd prefer it as a middle name. And I like Zane better but my husband tells me that's not an acceptable name. :(

Great name, a friends brother is named Dane.

I know a little girl named Dane who is a tomboy, I think it suits her well. I wouldn't name any of my children that though.

I def. wouldn't choose that for a girl.

A friend just named her son this. I like it.

It's alright. I wouldn't use it but I like it. I've only known one person named Dane. I don't remember what his middle name was, but I think it would have to be fairly long (or at least not one syllable). I'd probably put it with a 3-syllable mn though.

Dane is my boyfriend's second middle name. He hates it and pretends he doesn't have it, but I've always loved it. I don't know why either! But I've always thought it sounded sexy.

I went to high school with one
He was a major prep. Probably not really, but in comparison to everyone else at my school. So I get a majorly preppy vibe from it. I actually don't even think of the demonym (I hope that's the right word because I can't edit this after I post it!) or the dog or Dane Cook. Just pastel polo shirts and tennis sweaters and hair gel.

I agree, I don't think of the dog or Dane Cook or anything else besides the guy I know named Dane. He was a friend of a friend and was your typical American guy I guess. He was a blast to hang out with.
It's weird how if we only know one or two people with a name, that's all we can think about when we hear it.

I kind of like it recently as well, maybe because I saw some celeb used it as a middle name. I couldn't use it as I already have a Finn ;P but it does appeal as well.
I was also thinking could I spell it Dain so it means poetry in Irish, but that's a bit silly

I wouldn't get excited about it, but I don't hate it. I think I've met a total of 2 (and 1 was a rather short Jpns. American... which was kinda funny simply because I doubt he had any Danish roots... The other was a really tall white guy).

There is something noble sounding about it. I would consider it for a middle name.

It does sound ok.
