Lincoln

[mustardcustard]

I really like Lincoln, but my dh doesn't love it. I'd like to get other peoples opinions please? Dh likes Sage, but I'm really not sure about it. We're finding it very hard to come to an agreement.

Lincoln is fine other than being a place name and the surname of a POTUS, but it'll get shortened to Linc.
Sage is dreadful, but fine as a name for accounting software. Too closely associated with '& Onion'.

Not Lincoln. A small town/city in the UK. Doesn’t inspire any images of greatness and enthusiasm and excitement to me.
Sage is OK - for a girl.

Colm?
Leo?
Lucas?

@Greytea , it's a smallish city, but wouldn't be a small town. It has a beautiful cathedral.

As in the airport?

Yes, I suppose I should have said small city/town, not the other way round. I wasn’t sure if whether it was a city or not.

@Greytea , it's been a city for centuries.

Both dreadful, sorry.

Not specifically the airport, more just the place.

Or Loughborough?

Lawrence
Roman
Lucian
Aaron
Tristan
Vincent
Leon
Stefan
Linden
Rowan
Reuben

Does it have to be either? They’re dreadful.

The biscuits were my first thought

Don't like Lincoln (it's an OK place but not sos I want to be named after it) really don't like Sage (might be the stuffing or that it sounds like rage)

Got anything else?

I like Lincoln, and think of Abraham Lincoln, whom I admire.

My friend has a Lincoln, he really suits it and it’s lovely with his brothers name. when she first told me I want for or against it though.

Both foul names.

Would you consider Forest instead?

Love the name Lincoln.

how about
Lisle
Leon

It's tough because as much as I love the name Lincoln, I really don't want to give my child a name that most people seem to dislike (is that bad?). Some lovely name suggestions, thank you.

Lorcan
Logan
Liam
Lindsey

I loved Lincoln (I know a 3 year old Lincoln), and it very briefly made the list when pregnant with DS2 until we realized that we would look like POTUS but jobs given DS1 is called Carter.

Linc is a great nn too. That being said we're not in UK so doesn't have same negative connotations I suppose.

I actually like the name Lincoln, but I imagine a lot of people will think you've named him after a tv show character (The 100) or the American President.

Sage is a girl's name.

Possible alternatives to Lincoln:

Landon
Lachlan
Hudson
Holden

Sylvester Stallone’s son was called Sage.
I like it.
As a pp said Lincoln were biscuits, very nice biscuits too.
