I like Jane Ariadne Lark the most.

You know, I like Jane Alexandria Lilac best! It's a pretty name pairing a common-ish, 'plain' and very sensible name with fun middle names, and that's great. Lilac is unusual, but somehow not as whimsical as a lot of flower names, and Alexandria feels historic.

I also like Jane Magnolia Frances. Frances is solid, like Jane, whilst Magnolia adds a touch of whimsy... at the same time, it's a very rare flower name.

---

As an Ariadne, I'm biased about Jane Ariadne Lark. I don't think Ariadne flows with either of the names, and there are far prettier names out there besides. Plus, with shows like Atlantis (which I hate, sorry) on the Beeb at the minute, it might be one of these names which might suddenly start climbing the charts, like Hermione, Benedict and so forth... basically, fueled by fandom. I'd hope not, but you never know. I'm not a fan of Lark and I think it makes the ending of the combo quite harsh.

Jane Primrose Adele... is my least fave. I think Primrose is faar to whimsical, far more so than Magnolia and leaps more so than Lilac (which has a sturdy sound and unusual ending and rarity on its side, whilst Primrose is far more girlish). It also has the taint of fandom. It's not ugly, but it's too sickly twee and girlish for my tastes. Adele... I just really don't like. I dislike most of the Ad- family of names, I just don't think they sound nice. But each to their own! Use it if -you- like it.

I like Jane Alexandra Lilac because it's not as frilly as Alexandria. I also like the quirkiness of Jane Magnolia Frances.

Tbh, I would prefer Jane Magnolia Adele to any of them.

Jane Primrose Adele is beautiful

I actually love Jane, Alexandria, and Lilac individually but I prefer the flow of Jane Ariadne Lark. Jane Ariadne Lilac, or Jane Ariadne Frances would be amazing too! Jane Ariadne is part of my Jane combo too (Jane Ariadne Minuet).

Yay for the Jane love.

I think Jane Primrose Adele flows the best. Primrose is a bit out there but I think as a middle name that shouldn't be a huge issue and it gives a bit of colour to Jane

Jane Magnolia Frances hands down. I personal prefer those names to start with, but the flow is just lovely. I love that all the names are different lengths and Magnolia adds a flight of fancy to the more solid Jane and Frances.

---

If not that then Jane Ariadne Lark, such a lovely blend of styles.

Jane Ariadne Lark is pretty damn cool. I don't usually like Ariadne, but in this case, with the two other names, it seems like a Hercule Poirot-type, country house lady who helps him solve a murder!

Jane Magnolia Frances

This combination flows so well! I also love each name separately; I especially love Magnolia! The only combination from the list that I highly dislike is Jane Ariadne Lark; it totally holds no appeal to me!

I can not lie.

Jane Magnolia Frances is classic, yet it has that little extra something.

Jane Primrose Frances, could work, too. I really like the Jane ___ Frances combo, though.

Jane Ariadne Lark. Because I love Ariadne.

Jane Primrose Adele is just lovely!
