Are my baby names too out there?

We live in the UK, I really love these name & there middle names (middle names are quite popular) just not sure if they're too weird 🤦

Girl : Saige Matilda
Boy : Quincy Eli

Both sound good with our last name!

Sage is nice (not Saige).

I’m not a fan of Quincy, but Quinn is nice.

Astronica · 21/01/2020 01:01

Sage Matilda is nice enough though I prefer it the other way round - Matilda Sage.
Quincy is okay, not a fan of Eli but the middle doesn't matter much in the long run.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 21/01/2020 01:01

I don't like Saige.
I like Quincy for a girl

SageRosemary · 21/01/2020 00:21

If it's a girl, can I be godmother, since you'll be calling her after me anyway!

Quincy is a throat abscess . Not good as a boys name. Sage will attract comments about stuffing, so no.

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 21/01/2020 00:19

Quincy!

As in Quincy M.E.

The tv show from the early 80s

Please don't do it

Mumbassa · 21/01/2020 00:14

They’re not awful.

Pieceofpurplesky · 21/01/2020 00:12

Quinn is a lovely name, Quincey not so much. Middle aged American man name

Sage without an I is lovely. Sorrel is also a good name. Matilda Sage is better than Sage Matilda

Notsure94 · 21/01/2020 00:12

They aren't terrible but Saige could read as saggy. I'd definitely spell it Sage. Although it is also accounting software.

Quincy sounds a bit like queasy.

I think there are a bunch of unusual names out there that are much nicer.

Jumpingforgin · 21/01/2020 00:11

I like unusual names, but these aren't good. Quincy sounds that gross illness (throat/mouth maybe?) And Saige, isn't a name, especially spelt like that. Eli and Matilda are fine.

PixieDustt · 21/01/2020 00:11

Not to keen on Saige or Sage.
I know a kid called Eli and he's a little shit so puts me off that.
I wouldn't say they're too out there as people name their children all sorts these days. My DS's name is not very popular.
Quincy is okay because I like the name Quinn so would use that and Q as a NN.

isittooearlyforgin · 21/01/2020 00:11

Quincy shortened time quin would be nice, I think people get to hung up on middle names. In reality, there are rarely used.

Chocmallows · 21/01/2020 00:06

Both make me think of dull ditchwater. Sage colour and Quincy sounds like a disease you get if you drink it.

puds11 · 21/01/2020 00:06

Eli does not go with Quince. Spelling of Saige is grim!

Scatterlit · 21/01/2020 00:04

I’m imagining a baby with Quincy Jones’ mean little pencil moustache.

HopeClearwater · 21/01/2020 00:01

You’re clearly too young to have seen Quincy, MD on the telly, or you wouldn’t be considering it for a moment Grin

TheGirlWithAPrince · 20/01/2020 23:55

A boy called quincy is bound to be bullied for it unfortunately.. Sage is OK, sage matilda doesn't match, eli is nice

DramaAlpaca · 20/01/2020 23:45

Both too out there for me.

Sage if you must, Saige looks like you couldn't decide between Sage & Paige.

Quincy is awful. Sorry.

kittykatkitty · 20/01/2020 23:43

I know a sage and Quinn so 🙅🏻‍♀️

littlealexhorne · 20/01/2020 23:42

I like Saige but not Quincy

Putthekettleonplease · 20/01/2020 23:39

Attention seeking names.
What’s wrong with normal names?

Nojeansplease · 20/01/2020 23:31

Sage is fine
Saige is trying to hard

Quincy as a name is fine, but isn’t it an illness? It would make me think of that

WindyMiller1020 · 20/01/2020 23:27

I really like Sage but definitely not with an I.

Dont like Quincy at all if I'm honest

YouOnlyLiveTwice · 20/01/2020 23:26

Ditch the weird spelling and switch the names around...

Matilda Sage
Quentin Eli

TheVanguardSix · 20/01/2020 23:22

Lose the i in Sage.
Both names are ok.
