Layne Reed is a 12 years old girl, who is the main character in the Disney Channel mini-series "Fast Layne". It's about her discovering the secret project V.I.N., a futuristic, intelligent and empathetic car created by her parents, who are inventors in the Government. V.I.N. can be only driven by members of the Reed family; but Layne shares her secret with her new neighbor and friend Zora. But there are two villains who want to steal V.I.N....
I won't do any spoilers. I just hope Disney will realize a second season of "Fast Layne".

I can see this name more for a girl than a boy. A really nice middle name choice, as a first name I prefer it to be pronounced lay-nee.

My name is Layne and I am a girl. I have met four people in 36 years that share my name spelled with a "y". Two were male and two were female and all pronounced it "lane" as if rhyming with train or rain. I believe the most common meaning for my name is "from the narrow road", which is also the definition for a lane you drive on.

I have noticed more and more people considering Lane for a boy and the spelling Layne for a girl as if the 'Y' somehow feminizes it.

This is my dad's as well as my uncle's name. They are the only Layne's I know, and I think it suits them. The name seems different, like it's not the same name when we're talking to or about them.
