Jade?

[supersky]

Is Jade an outdated name? I love it but I've not heard it being used in years

I don’t think it was ever common enough to be outdated. I know one in her 30s.
If you like it, go for it.

My sister is in her 30s and is called Jade, it got quite common for a while but don't hear of many babies being called Jade now. I do like the name for what it's worth.

It's definitely not in the Top 100 and has actually dropped in popularity over the years from 19th in 1996 to 519th in 2019. Jaida and Jada are even more unpopular.

The name isn't my cup of tea but I find it ok. Don't like the look of jade stone though. I prefer Ruby, Amber, Ivory, Emerald as names.

Ok maybe not Ivory.

Jade Goody's ruined Jade for me.

I've always like the name Jade. I knew one in uni and she was lovely.

It's a bit 90s for me but it's more interesting than another Ava/Isla/Olivia

To me Jade is always Jane with a bad cold.

It’s definitely very 90s but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Bit chavvy I'm afraid.

Whilst it is a pretty name, I have never met a nice (or classy) Jade... Shame really

Agree with @DrDetriment

I think it was nice when I'd only ever heard of one (her dad doesn't gather any moss) but it's too linked to big brother for me.

Yup agree with @MikeUniformMike Jade Jagger has quite a ring to it. And I like the idea of it as the stone is so pretty. But it does feel a little 90s. I think of Jade Goody before Jade Jagger.

But then my DDs are dressing like All Saints and listening to Spice Girls so perhaps we are in full on 90s revival...

Also agree with DrDetriment.

I'm 21 and my name's jade I haven't heard of anyone called jade growing up but in high school there were 5 jade's in my year but growing up and to this day I hate my name purely because I have never had a nickname🤦‍♀️ I envied everyone with nicknames

I like Amber but not other gemstone type names. not sure if amber is a gemstone but ukwim

It's really not nice.

I hate it. It's also my name.

It's a nice enough name. Very 90s though, so I suppose dated now.

I don't like the old meaning of the name so wouldn't choose it.

I think it’s lovely - I remember when I was about 5 or 6 there was a Jade in my ballet class and it seemed so cool compared to the Katies and Victorias and Sarahs there.

Feels very dated. Muxh along the same lines as 90s names like Chelsea, Britney, Shannon, Courtney and Madison. None of which feel particularly classy to me. I knew a Jade with a sister called Coral.

It’s normally touted as a chavvy lower class name on MN. Its usually up there on the most hated name lists.

Yes. I remember donkey's years ago when Mick and Bianca Jagger called their daughter, 'Jade' and it was nice and pretty (though they obviously didn't look up all the meanings). Now it is hackneyed. Lots of names go that way
