I have a soft spot for Zane, I wouldn't use it myself but I enjoy hearing it. I'd pair it with something longer and traditiinal like Zane Jonathan or Zane Alexander.

I think Zane sounds like an eminently likable guy. I've met a couple. The sound itself reminds me of zany.
It seems in the style of Xander, Griffin, Thane, Wyatt, Cade, Zack, but I like it more than those.

It's not a name I'd use...just because I can't imagine myself using a name with unknown meaning.

---

I agree with other people about Zane and James sounding awkwardly alike, but I like Zane Harold a lot.

I like it. It was on my favorites for a long time. Then there was some celeb named Zayn ... I'm unfamiliar, but the existence of a mononymous celebrity Zayn put me off the name Zane as a baby name. I don't think of Zane as the same name, but it sounds the same and I don't like that people might hear it as the same. I agree with Kaesy it's got a cowboy vibe, but also seems meant to be "cool" ... maybe because of the Z. I'd be willing to name a boy Zane. and I'd think it was interesting on a boy or young man. But it wouldn't be near the top of my baby name list.

I think Zane James is too much of an almost-rhyme and invites accidental spoonerisms (Zame Janes, Jane Zames etc). I'd only use a combo like that if I were just super committed to the middle name and didn't care about flow. Which happens. Zane Harold James >> Zane James Harold.

I like the name Zane a lot. But Zane James runs together way too much! Sounds like your saying Jane James.

Maybe it would sound better with something like this...

I have never liked the name Zane. It is one of my least favourite names. It reminds me too much of the word insane. Zane James is too rhyme-y. Zane feels ultra youthful while Harold feels like a nursing home name. I do like Harold though.

Zane's kinda cool. Zane James does sound too rhymey.

Zane is simultaneously cool dude and cowboy, which is an interesting vibe. It's not my style but I don't hate it or anything. Zane James is far to repetitive sounding though, they don't sound good together at all.

It's...fine. I guess I just don't have strong feelings either way. I certainly don't dislike it. But I doubt I'd use it myself. Zane James sounds awfully rhymey to me.
