We named our son Thaen-Alexander which is a derivative of Thane. We pronounce it THAY-en. It always gets a “sorry, what was that” reaction lol 😂

I had a great-aunt (born 1922) whose name was Thayne. It was an unusual choice as the older siblings all had more traditional names: Helen, Nellie, Ruth, Gwen, Gerald, & Roland.

This name first appeared on the SSA list in 1916 and has been on it every year since 1944, so I disagree with the "recently surfaced" part of the "Name Info"

Found it through a Harry Potter fanfiction - not sure if I would use it as a useless muggle, but damn, I'd have so many more names I could use if I was a witch
