I have a friend who is named Layne (it's pronounced Lane). I personally prefer Laney/Lanie to Layne/Lane. It's more feminine and I don't think it's that cutesy.

I think it sound whiny.

I always think of the way Jerry said it on Seinfeld, "LLAAAAINNY."

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I think whiny is a good way to describe it.
It's too childish- and nickname-ish sounding, imo.

that's my nickname! i think it's cute. my name is alayna, though.

I think it is a good nickname for Elaine or Elaina, but it probably wouldn't age well.

This, though I do love it as a nickname.

And I love your icon!

I think it's cute, but as a nickname. It's too cutesy and insubstantial as a full name. It could be short for Elaine, Helaine, Delaney, or Alaina. Or if you want more uncommon, maybe Ghislaine, Marjolaine, or Eglantine.

i know someone named Lanie
and my friends daughters name is Delaney and i call her Laney Rae all the time.
i like it but i think i prefer it as a nick name.

I don't like it - it doesn't sound like a real name to me, more like a nickname or diminutive.

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

I like it fine.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I like it as a nick name. I don't think it's formal enough for a given name. But that's just my opinion,

[monkey-fruit.livejournal.com]

I don't really care for it, though I do like the name Layne/Laine...

[skittles22088.livejournal.com]

I prefer it as a nickname for Delaney.

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

I don't like it. It sounds too childish and nickname-y. It also reminds me of the movie She's All That which I hate.

Too cutesy. As a girl with the middle name Layne, Laney/Lanie is just..offensive. Well, haha, not really offensive, but I guess it's kind of like when people with nice, normal names see them horribly misspelled. It sounds perma-young, like Laney/Lanie will never grow up.

i know someone named Emily who sometimes goes by Lainie

[mrssubee.livejournal.com]

I think it's really cute- but, I feel like it's a nickname- like it should be short for something

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i HATE how nasal-y it is.

baby girls arent baby girls forever, for what its worth.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I know a Laney and a Lainey, and they're both nicknames (Delaney and Elaine). I used to love the name, but one of the girls I know ruined it for me.

[museofmyself.livejournal.com]

I really like it, but I prefer Langley.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

For a baby girl - yes.
For an adult - no.

[soulsplinter8.livejournal.com]

I like it as a nickname for Elaine.

[brittmarie.livejournal.com]

I like Lanie. :]

Laney/Lanie should be a nickname, not a birth name. It's too cutesey and little girl sounding...it will not age well when she's a middle-aged career woman.
