Re: Jade
in reply to a message by Aine
Thanks for the middle name suggestions! I've been trying for ages to come up with a nice middle name for Estella. I really like Estella Pearl. I'll never be able to decide between Estella Jade, Brooke and Pearl :P Estella Rose is beautiful but I know about 40+ girls with Rose as their middle name (Chloe Rose, Hayley Rose, Stephanie Rose, Charlotte Rose etc etc). I also like Estella May...for some reason I really want a one syllable middle name for Estella. I also thought of Estella Fay...
Is Christie (as a full name) considered lower class in Australia? Just wondering, when I went there I met heaps of rather uneducated girls who were named just Christie.
hmmmm my theory is that jewel names all become tacky. maybe I'm wrong, though. but i remember when Jade first became popular it was used by the upper class and then the lower class picked it up and it became hugely popular there. maybe it's because you can think of fake jewelery when you hear them.

I don't think Jade was ever used by the upper-class here in Australia. Ever.
Christie/Kristy/Kristi/Crysti etc as a full name is pretty restricted to the lower classes here I think. But it's hard to say- I am sure there are those from wealthier backgrounds named Christine, Christina or Kristin that go by Kristy occasionally...
I don't think Kristy has ever been overly popular here at all though
