Recently found out a good friend is planning on naming their child:

Sage Ella Smith (surname changed, though I don't know why as it's a ridiculously outing thread anyway!)

I, and some of our other friends think that the two names individually are lovely, even if they aren't to our taste. However Sage Ella together sounds like a disease or such.

Are we wrong? It's a conclusion we've all come to seperately though all agree on.

Do I, or another friend mention it?

Obviously name changed for this!

I wouldn’t chose it but it’s none of your business and you sound like a bitchy and bored friendship group. And no idea why your friend has told you the name before the birth of a healthy child

You sound like a horrible friend.

It's literally none of your business.

I think the name is fine and you definitely shouldn’t speak to the parents to be about it. It’s their choice.

It sounds like you WANT her to find the thread and you’re not good friends/are really jealous about her new arrival/are a generally bitchy, bullying group.

I think the name is very pretty, for what it’s worth.
