Laynie means lane or pathway — the YNIE-ending diminutive of Lane/Elaine, from the Old English or French. Alice in Chains' Layne Staley carries the similar sound. A lane is the most intimate road — between hedgerows where lovers walk. Two syllables of intimate-pathway, Staley-grunge-depth, and YNIE-ending diminutive warmth.
