Jade or Jane or are they both boring?

[Jadeorjane]

I really like the sound of both these names but have been told they’re boring and plain (plain Jane)
I am aware they were both more common in previous era and that doesn’t bother me.

But is Jade any more boring than another Ava, Isla, Ada etc

Who is it for?

Yourself, a baby/your daughter, a pet rabbit, a literary character?

I like Jane. Not very common nowadays.

Sorry but as a teacher I’ve rarely had a Jade/Jayde/Jayda in my class who wasn’t a pain in one way or another, so personally I wouldn’t choose that.

A baby

I like the name Jane. Joan is another good one in a similar vein.

Not at all keen on Jade.

I think Jane is cool.

Neither

I really like Jane

Jane 10/10. Jade 3/10.
Jane is cool.

Jane is great.

Jane is a bit boring and Jade is a bit chavy

I love Jane. It’s such a classic.

I like Jane, don't like Jade.

Children the same age as your child won't think Jane is boring/plain because it'll sound unusual to them.

I worked with a Jane whose sisters were Susan and Ann and whose brother was Lorcan (!). The girls were all delightful Lorcan was a self satisfied little sod. Hope this is helpful in some way.

Jane is a bit boring, but infinitely better than Jade which is chavvy.

Jane is boring and Jade, well, all jades I know have been trouble in one way or another, so that taints the name for me.

I like Jane, it’s my mums name and my DD middle name. We nearly went with Joan because that was my Nan’s name. There’s a Janey at her school, not sure if she is actually a Jane or just a Janey, but I like it.

Entirely different mood IMHO. One is on the posh side, the other not.

Jane is lovely.

Jane is a fabulous name. ❤️

Isn’t it strange, I’ve never known a Jade that wasn’t a wrong ‘un either. Jane is perfectly lovely OP.

Jane.

Jane will come back I think.

Jade Jagger seemed ok. It just got overused and in the same company as Jaxon. Jane has been used for centuries so not sure if that makes it boring. Often used with other names.

Jane is a beautiful, timeless classic. It's simple and pretty, not plain at all.

Jade is dated in a very 90s sort of way. I realise it's a gemstone name, which should be a nice connotation, but IIRC it was 16th century slang for a prostitute, which is awful.

Jane or Joan. Or even Jehane if you want an historical vibe.

Not jade though.
