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!

I love Sage, but Saige is a bit too out there. Sage was on my list of DS had been a girl, but DH wasnt a fan!

Quincy reminds me too much of Quinsy as many people have pointed out already, Sorry!!!

I dislike all of those names. They sound ugly to me.

That being said, my child has quite an unusual name. I'm sure there are people who think his name is ugly.

Names are a personal thing. If you like them and think the child won't get made fun of then just go for it. There are no universally loved names

Matilda... really? That’s a book or some shit
Holy crap 😂

I like Saige/sage :)

lt'll be their name for life or until they choose to change it, that's the thing to consider. If you call your child Saige you will forever be the parent who couldn't spell or who thought they were being clever.

Fwiw I like Sage, Sorrel and Saffron.

Not my cup of tea but each to their own. I went with Christopher and Bradley (before Brad Pitt became famous). Now called Chris and Brad. Not sure adult children thank their parents for out there names.

How can Sage (spelled either way!) POSSIBLY be the only 'girl name' you like?! Out of hundreds and hundreds of interesting, unusual, classic/modern names, you can only visualise her having four rather dully arranged letters and be called after a herb.

It's not even a very nice sound let alone a name. I really wouldn't.

Quincy reminds me of the illness, but Quentin is great.

GirlDownUnder · 21/01/2020 14:06

You could spell Quintin as Quinton if you'd prefer a little difference.

Rachel345 · 21/01/2020 14:45

I think Quentin is the most common spelling. Think Tarantino, Blake, Letts etc. You can still shorten to Quinn if you like.

Sage is lovely
Matilda is lovely
Quincy is awful
Eli is ok
Seth is lovely
Dexter is ok

Saige just looks like you've made it up and makes me thing of a seige

Saige just looks illiterate.

I add the " I " so it looks abit girlier and think it just looks nicer.

That’s not how language works OP. 🙈

Quincy is too like Quinsy (complication of tonsillitis).

Quinn is ok.

Matilda goes best with George and Violet.

Sage is nice but Saige is bizarre
