Lots of negativity for this name, but I like it! Considering it for my daughter’s middle name. I get why people down it, but if you focus on the gem & why you like it, it’s still quite lovely.

I don't enjoy gemstone names in general, and Jade sounds like Jane with a bad cold. Jade Vivian flows well; I prefer Vivien.

It's a nice combo.I'm neutral about the name Jade. I've never met one, and I tend to think of the word jaded before I think of the green mineral. But it has a nice sound. I guess I personally prefer Jaiden (for a girl), or just Jay.
I feel like Jade is a little bit passe now - like the era of Madison and Aiden.
It's also a name that has a 'mediocre' vibe, from day one. Like Amber, Dawn, Crystal, Star, Lacey. It has a certain lack of "classy"-ness.
I don't think that's negative, myself. It could even be kinda positive. I like tons of names that are like that, Brandy, Sherry for example - and it doesn't make me like Jade any less. But I think it's 'a thing,' and worth mentioning when I'm asked opinion of the name. It's borderline whether or not I'd like to be named a name that is perceived like that. Probably I wouldn't, at least sometimes. Especially a name that is also about 20 years past its popularity peak and likely to make a gal sound older than she is. So Jade *for a baby* doesn't enthuse me. As the name of someone who's already named, I think it's a nice name. It just doesn't happen to appeal a lot to me personally.

I love it, but probably not enough to use. Gives off a very pretty imagery and still sounds modern and cool despite it being popular decades ago. Jade Vivian flows fine. I actually kind of like Jade for a boy, too.

It gives me a similar vibe to Crystal. A bit hard and cold. Which is odd since both jade and crystals are actually lovely to look at.

I love it but it's dated and I know that many people find it trashy (I do not).Jade Vivian flows well but the names don't match each other. Jade Vivienne looks more elegant.
