I've met/known a few male Jade's. I think its awesome.

I just posted about someone I know naming their baby boy Jade Hunter.

I prefer it on a boy to a girl, although it's not a favorite of mine or anything.

I knew a male Jade with a sister named Amber. He was a huge, pleasant lad, good at field athletics, who works in the family business as an auctioneer. He carried it off well, but perhaps if he'd been a weedy geek his life might have been needlessly complicated. Who knows? In a world bulging with female Jameses, a male Jade seems positively mainstream.

As a mn for a boy, ok, as a fn, no thanks. I personally prefer it for a girl and think that because it is so popular for girls, it's best left as a mn for a boy.

I love it for a boy as a middle name. Nicholas Jade sprang to mind for me right off, being that its a stone and a color I think its fair game for either gender. I think it would be overwhelmingly assumed to be female in the first name position and that turns me off of it in that place.

I'm not wild about the name on either gender but, because it brings jewelry and carved sculptures/decor strongly to mind, I tend to feel it as more feminine. I realize it isn't logical, but there it is.

It is underwhelming on a girl, you are right. I don't like it as a boys name though either. I could see it as a nickname for Jaden / Jayden.

Depends how popular it is for girls where you are atm. I went to university with a male Jade, so it can be done, and I don't see why it shouldn't be unisex.

I agree that Jade is entirely underwhelming for a girl, even a little drab, and I particularly loathe seeing it as a middle name. I infinitely prefer it for a boy, though not enough to consider it a favourite, and I have seen it used as such on more than one occasion. Jade Elias is particularly appealing to me right now.

I love it!

It's never sounded overly feminine to me anyway. I love Sage on a boy too :)
