Also means Wave in Finnish, and the name is also used in Finland and Scandinavia. Both feminine and masculine, but appears the feminine is more common as a variant of the spelling Laina

It's okay, I guess. I still don't like the "lain" part.

The English pronunciation (LAYN) is full-on crap and ruin, but the Finnish and Estonian one (LIE-neh) on the other hand is much more redefined.

Laine pronounced lane seems like it's missing something.

Seems more of an English name, like Elaine without the E.

My friend's name is Laine and she pronounces it "LAY-neh". I think that it's still pronounced "LAY-na".

Laine is my middle name, and I like it despite the fact that I still never tell people what it is. I guess it's just an age thing, since a lot of kids in my year don't give out their middle names, even if asked, and finding out someone's middle name is a semi-big thing, haha!With me, it's just pronounced like 'lane.' I think that it's simple and more feminine.

Name "Laine" means wave not only in Estonian but in Finnish, too. It is more common as a surname in Finland, but used also as a first name.
