[Opinions] Jade & Meredith ...
Replies
I'm not a fan of gem/mineral names and Jade is no exception. Jade Ruth doesn't necessarily sound bad although it sounds too staccato to my ears due to them both being one-syllable.
I think Meredith is nice although I do think Meredith Ruth is a bit heavy on the "th."

WDYT of Jade? How does Jade Ruth sound?
I love Jade - that's Jocelyn's middle name. I like it as a name on it's own, however, I'm not big on Jade Ruth. I personally don't like the two one-syllable names together because it sounds too hard (if that makes any sense). I've never been a big fan of Ruth. The only two Ruths I have ever known have been 60+ year old women at two different churches. One of the Ruths turned out to be a very good friend to me but I still see this name as old-sounding.
Also, WDYT of Meredith? Do the TH ending's clash in the combo Meredith Ruth? I think the endings clash and I also don't care too much for Meredith. I much prefer Muriel to Meredith. Both names seem similar to me in style but Muriel just sounds a lot prettier.

Jade's nice enough, I guess. I have a very weird feeling about it though: it's not trashy by any stretch, but I don't feel it's elegant either. I think the feeling I'm getting from it right now is "yuppie" or "1980s". *Shrugs* I don't know.
I prefer Jane to Jade anyway. It sounds almost identical yet seems so much more timeless and classical to me.
Meredith is a male name to me and, I believe, to the Welsh. But if I just consider the sound, then, yes, I do think Meredith Ruth clashes. It's not too bad though.
