[Opinions] Calvin & Jade
Calvin(m) and Jade (f) have been on my mind lately and I'm really starting to like them. What do you think?
What names has been on your mind lately?
We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.

Calvin is rather too fundamentalist (Calvinist, in fact) for my simple tastes. Where I live, there were rugby-playing brothers several seasons ago names Calvin and Luther, which I thought was toe-curlingly awful. Kelvin is better, though too snobbish.
Jade sounds like Jane with a head cold. I much prefer Jane!
I think I might be slightly warming up to Simon!

Both nice.
I love both Calvin and Jade, but for boys.
I really don't like Jade on a girl at all.
Ptolemy has really been settled on my mind. I love it, though it seems like everyone completely detests it. I know my family would not be impressed if we used it, but no other boys name is sitting well with me at this point.

Calvin is not my kind of thing at all....it sounds like a surname and also somehow a bit try-hard trendy. But actually I really like it!
Jade, I dislike a lot. It sounds harsh, it's horribly overused and has the old fashioned meaning of 'whore'.
Zora is one I've been thinking about lately. I kind of wonder why it isn't more popular than it is, when Nora and Flora are growing in popularity and it ticks the box for unusual initial and turn of the century vintage. I first came across it in a name book I have, published in 1872!
