Re: Holly or Jade? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I think they are dated; certainly where I live.
The only Jade I've ever known is a man. Big, muscular (field athlete), friendly and outgoing, an auctioneer.
Holly ... the only rhyming name that I like is Polly! Holly, Molly, Dolly, Olly ... no. Just, no. I've got a Holly step-niece who's a pleasant kid, but I still can't enjoy the name. Her parents are deaf - her mother has some hearing, her father none - and they chose names for both their children that they could comfortably 'hear', lipread and say. Which is important.
