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!

Why would you spell it Saige and not Sage. Sorry it just looks like you're trying to be "different" when really it's just an unnecessary spelling of a normal word.

Prefer Eli and Matilda as first names

I thought Quincy sounded like a disease too but wasn’t sure which one “ Bobs off sick at the moment... he’s come down with Quincy Eli.”

I’ve only met a female Quincy.

I'm sorry, I'm not keen on either of these names. I always ask myself, would I want to be called this name.....?

I like Sage and Mathilda but not together and I like Eli. I hate Quincy sorry

I know it’s a different word but Quincy to me is far too similar to the throat abscess (quinsy I think it’s spelt). As someone who’s had 2 in the past it’ll never be anything else.

Sage is fine. But as another PP says, jokes about onions & “stuffing” may come in the teenage years.

Marcipex · 20/01/2020 23:17

Oh I’ve never heard of the toe thing.

SemperIdem · 20/01/2020 23:16

I like Sage but don’t understand why you would spell it Saige?

I know Quincy Jones but for me, it’s an illness (spelt quinsy but pronounced the same way), probably sticks in my mind because I had it once. Very offputting.

MrsBertBibby · 20/01/2020 23:14

What is the i in Saige for? I wouldn't name a child that, not least to avoid jokes about stuffing.

A quinsy is an abscess on a tonsil. Gross.

Marcipex · 20/01/2020 23:14

I like Quincy.
I don’t dislike Saige but I think she’ll be called Onion. Sorry.

I think I prefer Saige spelled Sage.

Quincy is nice. And Q is a cool initial!
