Hi. My husband and I have recently found out we are expecting our 2nd child this fall and have started kicking around baby names.

Thanks for your input, I have never heard Lane being used for a girl.

Being the mom of a Will, I have to say this is one of my all time favorite names for a boy. Does your dh not like Will as a nn? I much prefer it over Lane; I agree with a pp that Lane is becoming more feminized w/all the "Lanie" type girl's names out there.

Not a big fan of Katelynn myself, have you considered Kathlynn? (Combines both the Katelynn and the Katherine that you mentioned). Warren Beatty and Annette Bening have a dd named Kathlynn and I've thought that a lovely sounding name every since first hearing it.

As for the mns on the girls, I like the sprightly "Rae" better than Renae and the Lianne spelling better than Leanne (and even the name Linnea more). Both Renae and Leanne feel '60s-'70s to me. If they have personal family meaning to you, though, then that trumps what my perception of cool is, lol!!!

I like Lane William but if you want to save William for a possible brother, some other ideas:



  • Lane Alexander

  • Lane Christopher

  • Lane Kelson

  • Lane Carter

  • Lane Nathaniel

  • Lane Benjamin

  • Lane Porter

  • Lane Cooper

  • Lane David

  • Lane Michael

  • Lane Jacob

  • Lane Connor
