Our second granddaughter is named Jade Elizabeth. When her mother proposed it, our son said, “Stripper”. Now, since her parents are educated and plan on sending her to college someday, I think she will probably not end up stripping, unless she is trying to finance her medical degree or Ph.D. in French Literature. I will say she is the prettiest baby ever (born in 2017). As her grandmother, I love our Baby Jade, and will remember to whisper in her ear that she is NOT going to be a stripper.
