If you're going to use it, spell it properly. Although I don't particularly like it.

Saige just looks like you've taken Paige and stuck a random consonant on the front to make it "different".

I just think of accounting software, sorry. It sounds nice but to me it would be the same as a name like Dyson or Samsung

Sage is the proper spelling but unfortunately I agree with previous posters... reminds me of either a) accounting software or b) sage and onion stuffing Confused

Is it in use as a name? I don't like it anyway tbh, sorry. How about laurel?

I agree with Mamushka - either stuffing or accounting software. Sorry, don't like either version for those reasons.

Well, it also means 'wise'. I think it would be tempting fate to name my child 'wise'!

Haha true. Probably not a great match for a brother called Pax then. I've been told you've got stuffing called Paxo in the U.K.Grin

Sorry, can't read Sage without thinking Line 50 or 100! Accounting software.

Sage and Pax? Yes, stuffing.

And sage to me is also accounting software. I'm very dull.

I know a child who was called Thyme. She refused to go to secondary school until she was allowed to change it.

When I read the name Sage, my first thought was Sylvester Stallone's son.
