In my opinion, “a rainfall of jade” conjures up a pleasant imagery. The name I’m looking for is intended for a boy. Family name is 白. I was thinking of the name 雨琳 as it’s closer to the English comparative. But would these combination of characters be suitable for a given name for a boy? People have told me 雨琳 is too feminine for a boy? Is there any other similar combinations that exude a more masculine tone?

Jadeite is a stone. I wouldn't want to stand under the jade stone rains.– mootmootCommented Dec 1, 2016 at 18:19

You're right,「琳」is very feminine. I would suggest 「霖」...– Travis HuCommented Dec 2, 2016 at 5:45

if the family name is 白, may i suggest, for rainfall:
霝(u+971d), which means "light rain, drops of rain". it has a heritage since oracle bone script, used for people's name at that period.

another one is: 澍(u+6f8d), which means "timely rain; to rain, to moisten"

for jade, roughly all characters belong to the 96 radical "玉" is jade related. i would suggest these four:
璐(u+7490), 瑾(u+747e), 琨(u+7428), or 琦(u+7426)
so some combinations of a boy's name:
霝璐, 霝瑾, 霝琨, 霝琦, or 澍璐, 澍瑾, 澍琨, 澍琦.
before making any decision, would you consider the baby's 生辰八字? in the past, it's one of the most important factor in choosing any name.
have fun :)
琳 used for female's name. You can put 玉 as part of your name and the full name will be 玉霖 .
