Sage/Saige & middle names?!

[Catsandkittens638297]

Me & DH really love the name Sage, but I'm thinking about using the spelling Saige to draw it away from everyone thinking about the herb, I'm concerned everyone's going to say "you can't call her that it's a herb".

But anyway our last name rhymes with Mallone so that's what il use to put the name together.

Saige Indigo Mallone
Saige Tabitha Mallone
Saige Ellorie Mallone.

These are the only ones I can think of.
The names we have after Saige are Matilda & Rue.

I really don't like the name Sage.

Sage is lovely, spelled like that.

I'm not keen on any of your proposed middle names. Tabitha doesn't flow, and Ellerie is going to be misheard as celery. Indigo is a colour, just as Sage could be. I agree the combination would make it seem that you found inspiration in the paint section.

Suggestions:
Sage Elodie
Sage Estelle
Sage Isobel
Sage Alicia
Sage Rosamund
Sage Eloise
Sage Emilia
Sage Olivia

I also love Rue.

I am very old and the only thing I can think of is the Watch With Mother tv programme from the 60s and 70s:

I’m a big fat feathery owl called Sage
Toowhit toowhoo!

Sage means wise.

For this reason I could never give it to a child in case they turn out to be a bit dim.

Immediately thought of SAGE and Covid.

But if you do use it, then the original spelling is the best.

Doesn't matter how you spell it, its sounds exactly the same so people will think of the herb.

I like the name sage but if your going to use the name please don’t spell it saige

Sage is fine but for goodness sake don’t mess around with the spelling! I will never understand why people do that.

Because they want to be younique

It just leads to a life of their DC having to correct the spelling of their name.

Your other choice is ‘rue’? Why? Do you not know what that word means?
Sage is alright, your made up misspelling of it is dreadful though.

It’s sage.
It now makes me think of Covid.

Also I think it has a bit of a bleugh sound like beige

I quite like Sage. I also like Rue - wasn’t one of the Golden Girls actresses a Rue? Of your middle names, Tabitha is my favourite but unfortunately it doesn’t flow well with Sage. I’m not keen on the other two.
