HelpRe: Jade and Ruby - tacky or classic? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
To me, Jade is not, well it's not a name that screams "tasteful" or "elegant" at me. Instead it screams "glitter" and "flashy," and that's not the sort of thing that appeals to me. However, I am admittedly a fuddy-duddy when it comes to naming.
Ruby has a little less of that polyester sheen I dislike so much in Jade. I would never use it, but I associate it more with names like Evie, Sophie, and Freya, whereas I associate Jade with the likes of Amber and Tiffany.
I'm in the US, where neither name is used all that often. Ruby, I think, is catching on among the type of middle-class parents who are attracted to names like Amelia and Isabella.
