Help with this girl name :/?

Ok here's the deal, me and my boyfriend both really like the name Sarah-Jane....it is the first and only double barrel name I have ever liked, but I love that it's a little unique and that it's two slightly common, vintage, elegant names that go together and make a cute, less common name overall. Now here's the problem, we can't decide whether we want to use it as Sarah-Jane (middle name) (last name), we're worried that may be a little long and that we won't be able to find a middle name that sounds good and flows (although that is my preferred way of using the name), or if we could just do the first name Sarah-Jane and not give her a middle name so it's not as long (it's not like there's a whole lot of Sarah-Jane's in this world with his last name) or if we should do Sarah Jane with it being first and middle. I really want to do Sarah-Jane (middle) (last), I just can't find a middle name I like. I think the only other option we would use is Sarah Jane being the first and middle, but he has a cousin he is very close to (she's like a sister) who's name is Sarah and we wouldn't want her to just be called Sarah, because we are so close to someone with that name, and because we just like Sarah-Jane better...and I'm afraid if we use it as a first and middle, schools and people will try to just call her Sarah.

Ok after the very confusing long explanation haha. Which option do you prefer, I'm aware most people don't like double names, but for our situation, which option do you prefer?

If we did go with Sarah-Jane (middle) (last), what middle names do you suggest? Lots of names would be appreciated. And the last name starts with a Dan- sound, just so it can help you get an idea of what would sound good :)

Sorry guys for the long explanation, I just wanted you to completely understand where I'm coming from ♥

    I like Sarah Jane Dan-- best, where Sarah is first name and Jane is middle name.

    I'll try to think of some middle names to go with Sarah-Jane though... how about:

    Sarah-Jane Felicity Dan--

    Sarah-Jane Olivia Dan--

    Sarah-Jane Elisa Dan---

    Sarah-Jane Alyssa Dan--

    Sarah-Jane Alexa Dan--

    Sarah-Jane Kathleen Dan--

    Sarah-Jane Amelia Dan--

    Sarah and Jane are both pretty short, so even if you add a middle name, it isn't overly long or complicated. I think it sounds better with a longer middle name, since a one syllable name following Jane tends to sound a bit abrupt and incomplete

    Good luck! I hope you find one that you love!

  • I personally prefer just Sarah with middle name Jane. But I think Sarah-Jane sounds fine to me and it's only 3 syllables anyway. It'd be fine to tack on a middle name if you don't want to use Jane as a middle.

    But to be honest though, I wouldn't worry about "people will try to just call her Sarah", because people will probably not want to say Sarah-Jane all the time and will naturally call her either Sarah or Jane, to shorten it. Or possible some other nickname.

    A middle name suggestions is: Natalie... Sarah-Jane Natalie ___________

    or ........ Sarah-Jane Elizabeth ________

    (I think a 3 or 4 syllable middle name would sound better than a 1 or 2 syllable name...JMO)
