I'd choose Skye, in honour of the island. Jade is my least favourite.

I like all three a lot, have for years, but my favourite is definitely Sky and I prefer that spelling. I’ve always thought it was so pretty, friendly and happy sounding. Definitely a name I’d consider using.
My least fave would probably be Rain, but it’s a very hard decision!

Skye
It's neat. Breezy and spiffy and simple. And it's a place name, so not as ... lame? as Sky.
Jade is alright, I don't love it. I would think it was more interesting spelled Jaid. Not sure the respelling would be worth the hassle
Rain I don't care for - a damp gray and melancholy vibe, I don't think is namey. Reign is better. Or Rayne - but that reminds me of a plumbing company that operated where I grew up, I guess the plumber used his surname as a pun. hah.

Hmm, if I had to use one.... I think I'd use Rain, but I'd spell it Raine. Skye is my favourite, but I already know a Skye, so that one's out. And I do like Jade, but I don't like the meaning, and my reasons for liking it are kind of Orientalist, which is problematic. Also Jade is so dated for me, and not in a fun way.
Although, I would worry about a Rain inevitably being teased with that old song "Rain, rain, go away" ;)

Rain
I like the name Rain. I would never spell it as Rayne, though. Raine could be a possibility, but only as a middle name. Rain is beautiful, pretty much unisex, calming, and soothing.
Skye is meh and I never really cared for it. Jade is also okay and I like the etymology but the name itself I wouldn’t give to daughter.
