  • How do you even pronouce it?  Like Jade?  Or  Jahd?

    FWIW, it's NMS.

  • Talia is ok, but NMS.  I had a very sweet student named Talia once.

    Jad is just weird IMO.

  • Jad doesn't do it for me.  If it were short for something like Jaden then maybe but I can't stand Jaden Smith (Will Smith's son) so that really doesn't appeal to me either.  That being said, if you and your DH like it then use it!  I have a couple of names on my girl's list that people hate.  I don't really care, it's not their child. 
  • Talia is nice, but Jad is NMS at all. Does it have any special meaning to you? Otherwise it just looks made up.
  • I'm not a fan of weird of names but I actually like it.

  • I'm not sure on the pronounciation, so I'm not a fan. It kind of looks like it's missing a vowel or something.

     

  • i like hearing all your opinions! i know its a very different name. and it would be pronounced Jahd.

    the meaning is: Benevolent,desiring to help others

  • Not a fan. In my head I pronounce it rhyming with "Chad" which I think would be confusing for people (since it sounds so similar when pronounced that way).

  • NMS either but I think that if the two of you love it, that's what counts!

  • I think it's confusing and looks made up to be perfectly honest.

    I like Talia, although, I would spell it the spanish way: Thalia, but only because that's how I grew up seeing it. Jad is NMS but if it relates to your family or culture then I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    Talia is beautiful and has a lovely meaning.  Jad is terrible, IMO.  I can't find it on any of the more reliable baby name sites, so it confirms my impression that it looks and sounds completely made up.  Not a fan, sorry.  I MUCH prefer Jude.

  • I actually have a friend named Jad so it doesn't sound weird to me! LoL
  • I know a Jad--he's Pakistani and I think Jad is short for something...I think it's a nice name.

  • I love Talia!  Jad doesn't seem too weird to me because I knew a bunch of Jeds and Juds growing up- but I agree with PPs, it seems like it's short for something.

     In my friend's case, it's short for Jadallah.
