I wouldn't. Jade is fine.

Ham69 · 29/01/2016 20:16

I wouldn't.
Jody?

Jaiden.... I like it!

bloom7 · 29/01/2016 20:00

Jaiden

lljkk · 29/01/2016 19:53

Jade is very pretty. Not warming to Jaidan etc.

Lurkedforever1 · 29/01/2016 19:47

Spell it phonetically, c h a v v y

PennyHasNoSurname · 29/01/2016 19:44

I would spell it S O P H I E or something else better.

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 29/01/2016 19:41

I know a Jayde.

TheFallenMadonna · 29/01/2016 19:27

I used to teach a lovely girl called Jaiden.

NoCapes · 29/01/2016 19:22

I would spell it Emily
And pronounce it Em-i-lee
Because Jayden is a boys name
And awful

NerrSnerr · 29/01/2016 19:17

Jade Anne. Jade is a lovely name.

Vixxfacee · 29/01/2016 19:13

Sarah and Alice are worse than jaden

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 29/01/2016 18:51

Jaiden.

ZiggyFartdust · 29/01/2016 18:28

I would spell it S>A>R>A>H. Or A>L>I>C>E.
Or any other nice girls name.

It's an awful name for anyone, but its truly terrible for a girl.

HKW81 · 29/01/2016 18:28

I like it for a girl!

I know one who spells it Jadenne, she actually gets Jae for short not Jade.

SpidersFromMars · 29/01/2016 18:27

Jade Anne is lovely.

pinkcan · 29/01/2016 18:25

Use Jade with nickname Jaden if you like.

You could call her Jade with middle name Nina (or some other name starting with N) to rationalise the JadeN.

Otherwise she will spend her whole life being mistaken for a boy.
Never over complicate names!

makemineasnowball · 29/01/2016 18:17

Awful name - sorry!

HooseRice · 29/01/2016 17:25

Beat me to it lentil and bizarrely I was going to use the exact spelling you did

LentilStew · 29/01/2016 17:19

Elizabeth

redhat · 29/01/2016 17:15

If you want to give her a boy's name you could just go the whole hog and call her Jason?

Wardrobespierre · 29/01/2016 17:12

Zhay-d'ent.

Silent t.

Obviously.

Seriously, it's a dude's name.

Amummyatlast · 29/01/2016 17:09

It's an ugly boys name and even uglier as a girls name. However you spell it.

lanbro · 29/01/2016 16:30

I know of 3, 2 Jaydens and 1 Jaiden, all boys, all with an awful name IMHO. With all the beautiful girls names out there why choose a rubbish boy's name?!

StitchesInTime · 29/01/2016 16:28

I've only ever seen boys called Jayden, so I can't think of any spelling that would make it seem like a girl's name.

Jade as a full name is absolutely fine.
