What do you think of this name?

[RDecember]

I suddenly fell in love with the name Jade, but one of my friends said it might remind people of strippers or prostitutes. I know that a name can never represent the person, but it's still a bit worrying to think that the name has such a negative link to it. What comes to your mind when you see "Jade"?

Or would you rather prefer "Jenna"?

If there are any other names that start with J (apart from Jennifer), you are very welcome to share ;)

I rather like Jade!

Other lovely J names are Jane, Jasmine and Juliet (my favourite).

Not keen on Jade - it is used as aderogatory term meaning prostitute. Also, I know a couple of Jades and they are both really hard work.
Jenna is really pretty.

Jade better than Jenna but both a bit 90’s

I knew a Genevieve who went by Jenna. Lovely woman.

A woman of ill repute! It also means the precious stone.
I don't like it, Mick and Bianca made it fashionable when they named their daughter Jade, then it was trendy, then chavvy.

If you like precious stones, Ruby is nice.

Jean is the besf J name. Jade mKes me think of Big Brother.

I prefer Jade to Jenna but wouldnt choose it myself. (Nothing wrong with it though).

Jasmine is a lovely name

Jade to me is very 80s/90s and for some reason I don’t like it (not sure why). Amber ? Ruby ?

I like Jade but o have a lovey friend with that name.
I also like Jinelle

Agree that jade is a bit 90s and common. My school was loaded with Jade's and they were mostly the chavvy girls/the bullies. Jenna has the same type of vibe but less so

There was a spell where it was very popular and considered "chavvy", like Jayden became for boys. I know a Jade and she was a bit embarrassed by her name, she went by her middlename professionally as she felt it gave a better impression.

I know an adult Jade and she's one of the nicest people I've ever met. I also know a Jenna and she is one of the biggest bitches. Same with a Jean. So if it was me, I'd choose Jade. Funny how knowing people with the names changes your opinion so much.

Don't particularly like either but dislike Jenna more (I know one, she's a two-faced cow).

tips hat to Mrs Duggar

They both make me think of people I went to school with and not in a good way!

Josephine

I went to school with a Jade and she was an absolute horror. Still dislike her and haven't seen her since lol. So I associate the name with her. Or with the little mix singer !

Jenna is quite dated . Jessica/Jess, Jasmine, Juliet, Joy, Jocelyn, Josie

I don’t like Jade or Jenna, but what’s wrong with Jennifer? Jenny is pretty

I've never met a Jade who was nice. Went to school with a few who were all horrible

I love the name Jade, I think it's pretty. I've never come across a Jade in real life (and I've been a teacher for 10+ years too). It makes me think of the character Jade from neighbours and the lovely green colour. I'm Hertfordshire if that makes a difference to the number of Jade's).

Jenna is also quite nice but I'm not sure I like it as much as Jade and again never come across a Jenna either.

I know sisters called Jade and Jenna! Both in their mid-late twenties though

I know a lovely little girl called Jada

Joan.

I like Jade.
