Jada is a trashy name, I think. I may just feel that way because for centuries "jade" was a term for a trashy, loose woman. I think there are enough people around who are aware of that fact to make this a problematic name for a girl. It just seems like the kind of name uneducated, pedestrian people would use.

I like Jada better than Jade, but it isn't my favorite name. However Jada Eleni is a very cute, pretty combo. I could see many different personality types fitting with this name.

It's ok. Somehow I prefer Jade. Jada Eleni has a nice flow.

I actually don't mind Jada at all. Jada Eleni is not a bad combo.

Jada is OK for a girl, as a form of Jade. Seems a little trendy and insubstantial to me, but it's alright.

On the other hand, Jada's also a male Biblical name (1 Chron. 2:28 & 1 Chron. 2:32), as is Jadah (1 Chron. 9:42), so beware.

Jada Eleni flows well, and the styles mesh alright to me.

I don't mind Eleni (even though it makes me think of aliens, just because of the sound of it) but I really dislike Jada. It just seems modern, trendy, made-up. I don't care for Jade at all, either, but I like it better than Jada.

Edited to clarify: I realize Jada is a legit name, but it just has a modern, made-up "feel" to me. Just wanted to say that. :b

I like Jada, though I prefer Jade.

Jada Eleni is beautiful. Mystical, almost. Wistful-sounding. I think of an islandy-type thing. Like it!

It's a very nice combo. I love Jada, and my own personal favorite middle name for it is Esme.
