Does this sound too "fancy"?

It's colourful - it makes me think gold and green. I think they flow nicely together and also nice to have a meaningful family name included.

Ah thanks everyone - you've made a very hormonal pregnant lady a lot less nervous about announcing the name we love for our daughter! grin]GrinGrin

I like Aurelia. I know an Aurelia and it 'sounds' lovely - its pronounces 'Our-relia' though (not Or-elia) which to me makes it a bit more, um, exotic?

Thanks all! I agree Knockmedown, I just wanted to test the water before she's born and we announce to everyone - it's such a big decision! Lottieandmia you may be right but we want Jade because it's a family name and important to us Star

I only meant that on Mumsnet there always seems to be someone who doesn't like a name, though would be delighted to be proved wrong on this occasion.

If you and your husband both like it, I would venture to say that you don't really need the opinion of Internet randoms, but if everyone followed that, then we wouldn't have the entertainment that is the Baby Names forum!

Very pretty

I don't think Jade goes very well with Aurelia but that's just me.,.

I think it's lovely! It's pretty, original without being too out there, and the the two names sound well together.

I say go for it, but I'm sure that there will be plenty of opposing opinions Grin
