How to use this family name?
| Wed, 05-24-2006 - 1:20pm |
Lane is a family name on my mom's side. How can I incorporate this into our next baby's name? I like Elaine and Delaney but can you think of any more?

For a boy or girl?
My dhs mn is Layne, so our son is Weston Layne. There was also a little boy named Lane where I used to work.
I know a girl whose name is just Laine - not abbreviated for anything. I like this a lot by itself. I've also seen it spelled like Layne or just Lane like your family name. Just an idea...I also like your suggestions of Elaine and Delaney, although I'm hearing Delaney more often lately. Here are some other ideas as well. You could use the NN "Lane" for anyone of these. Let me know what you think! HTH!
Melaney/Melanie
Lanelle
Nalani (suppsoedly means the "Heavens" in Hawaiian).
Lainey/Laney
Layna
Alana
Alaina
Elena
I really like the name Laney too but I am so afraid of the boys calling her "Layme" one day. Sad but true and I try to think of everything because boys and girls can be cruel.
Just a thought but it is a great name aside from my paranoia.
Good luck!
