Jade's nice enough, I guess. I have a very weird feeling about it though: it's not trashy by any stretch, but I don't feel it's elegant either. I think the feeling I'm getting from it right now is "yuppie" or "1980s". *Shrugs* I don't know.
I prefer
Jane to
Jade anyway. It sounds almost identical yet seems so much more timeless and classical to me.
Meredith is a male name to me and, I believe, to the Welsh. But if I just consider the sound, then, yes, I do think
Meredith Ruth clashes. It's not too bad though.
