Better name out of Jade or Erin.

[AnicaWolf]

For a girl that is, as I've occasionally heard these names used on boys.

Erin.

🤨 my sister is called Jade. She's 31 and a senior manager who owns a 'vair naice' house.

I wonder how many people have judged her on her name on her journey to the top of her game! FWIW we are from a working class family but it hasn't affected her social mobility.

Erin is better

Jade is cool.
Erin is ugly.
IMO

Erin is lovely.

Jade is pretty in theory but I have a lot of negative associations with bitchy, gobby Jades.

Better than Martha though. I chuffing hate Marthas.

I like Erin. Jade should be a beautiful name but somehow isn’t

Erin or Erinna

They're both a bit naff.

Erin.

All Erin’s are brilliant

Erin.

Erin 100%, all Jades I've met have been very chavvy (sure there are some nice ones out there too)

Erin

Jade is the prettier name by a mile. Originally a bit of a glamorous hippy name- Bianca Jagger used it. I think most people who prefer Erin prefer it because it's more middle class. It depends how much that matters to you. Erin is a plainer, more masculine name- but is fairly neutral to most people's taste.

Jade is dated but I think it's a lot nicer than Erin.

No, I just think Erin is “the prettier name by miles”. Jade has an ugly, clunky sound to me (sorry to any Jades out there)! Erin has a nicer, flowing sound to me. Neither one is my favourite name in the world, but Erin is so much nicer to me.

I like other ‘hippy’, precious stone names though; Ruby, Sapphire, Opal, Pearl, Coral are all lovely.

Sorry to ramble, I just wouldn’t like people to assume I only said Erin because it’s more middle class.

Probably true, as Jade actually sounds more feminine and prettier than Erin (which has a harsh sound imo).

I think most people who prefer Erin prefer it because it's more middle class.

Nope, I prefer it because I first heard the name on The Waltons when I was a wee girl and thought it was a beautiful name.

Jade is pretty too but it’s a precious stone so I always feel it’s a “cold” name. I think Ruby and Amber are pretty too but wouldn’t use them for the same reason.

Copperbonnet that is exactly why I love Erin, because of The Waltons, and in fact it was a favourite when we had our children many years ago but we had boys so didn't get to use it.

Goodnight Madison

I adore Erin

Copperbonnet Me too about The Waltons link! Erin was always my favourite character.

Who knew there were so many Waltons fans still out there!

Look up jade in dictionary. Erin is smashing name though.
