Lane is one of my favorites. I like the 'Layne' spelling too.
maybe for a boy i'd do 'Laine' cause its a bit unusual.

I've got a Laine niece, named after an Elaine whose school nn was Laine. She finds it a nuisance because when she's in trouble for some reason, people tend to yell for Elaine and then she ignores them and gets into more trouble! And when she started French the sheep jokes came thick and fast. She's a nice enough person, but I can't warm up to the name.

T think I like Layne best, just like the variant of the "y" below the line.

My first name is Kathryn, and I'd never spell it without the Y!

I like this name a lot, but I've mostly thought of it for a mn. I like Lane best for boys. I'd probably like Laine best for girls, especially since, in a way, it would honor my sister Alaina. But that's a factor that won't affect most of you.

I like it. It seems like a shortened version of Elaine and that seems to give it a little more of a pedigree than other names. I can only see it on a girl.

But, I do have to tell you, I know a twenty-four-year-old woman named Layne and she says she hates her name.

I like the Laine spelling best also.
