Jane Cornelia or Jane Catherine?

Which do you perfer? Catherine is a family name and I just like Cornelia.

Thanks!

Re: Jane Cornelia or Jane Catherine?

Both are lovely. I personally prefer Jane Cornelia because it has a nice flair to it, but Jane Catherine is also quite distinguished, and the family connection is also nice.

Re: Jane Cornelia or Jane Catherine?

I agree that Jane Cornelia sounds nicer, but like the sentiment of Jane Catherine better. Both are great names, though.

Best of luck to you!

Re: Jane Cornelia or Jane Catherine?

Love Jane Catherine. Good luck!

Re: Jane Cornelia or Jane Catherine?

I'm going to vote for Jane Cornelia's flow, although I prefer Catherine to Cornelia.

Good luck! :-)

Thanks everyone! Maybe some other family names could work?

Leevi (said Lee-vee), Gilda, Elizabeth, Joy, Venice (my father's middle name), Cassie, Erica, Abby (my little sister and my best friend), Lynn.

WDYT?

Thanks!

I like Jane Cornelia because it is more original than Jane Catherine.

Expanding your list of combos to include more family names....
Cornelia Joy
Abigail Jane
Gilda Catherine
Cassandra Lynn
Jane Venice

Re: Jane Cornelia or Jane Catherine?

Jane Cornelia or Jane Catherine - I prefer Catherine, but the flow of Jane Cornelia is better, so if you love it, go for it!
Also, how about Jane Cordelia?

Keeping Jane as the first name :
Jane Leevi - initially I was put off Leevi because it looks so similar to Levi, but I actually love the sound of it, and it goes beautifully with Jane, as it has a more modern edge to it.
Jane Gilda - not the best, but still nice, and Gilda is unusual.
Jane Elizabeth - classic and pretty.
Jane Joy - the alliteration is a problem.
Jane Venice - not the best flow.
Jane Cassie - just beautiful. All variations on Cassie would work nicely, too.
Jane Erica - not the best flow.
Jane Abby - again, the flow is a little off, but I think Jane Abigail flows better, and would still honour your sister and friend.
Jane Lynn - you may get people thinking her name is Janelynn ... not a completely desirable name.

My favourites are :
Jane Cornelia
Jane Cassie
Jane Leevi
Jane Elizabeth.

Some other combinations which I like :
Cornelia Joy
Abigail (nn Abby) Jane
Cassia Jane
Cassandra Jane
Cassiopeia Jane.

And how about Jane Clara?

Good luck!
