Alternatives to Tryndee names

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

Whenever I see someone naming their child Jade I always think, why not Jane? Jade might have been lovely once but it has been used so much that it's generic now. It's going to be the "Marie" of its generation. Or Jennifer. Whereas Jane has endured for centuries and hasn't lost any of its charm. It's feminine, but not overly so. It's not "porny" or "trashy." And its a difference of only one letter.

What other trendy names would you offer alternatives to?

The only other one I can think of is Alexis -> Alice

for the record, i think jade is a horrid name. its easily one of my most hated names. i just have never liked it. there is nothing classic about it. its just ugly. sorry.

i like jane. i would never use it, personally, but its cute and timeless.
