Names to go with a bloody awful surname!

[SheWillBeLoved]

Okay there are worse.. but any nice, pretty, delicate names that I pick, are slightly ruined by the surname 'Savage'..

No idea what babs is yet, so open to boy or girl name suggestions! Good luck

I once knew a Dai Savage....

My married name was worse!
Louis Savage?
Eva Savage?

Dont forget to think what initials spell out if you go for a middle name!

My married surname was worse!!
Louis Savage or Eva Savage?

Oh sorry - dont know what happened there!!!

Nothing wrong with Savage. I thought it was going to be Bottomley! Every name I can think of goes well with Savage. I cannot think of one that doesn't go.

Devout - do me a list pleeeease I think i'm just being too fussy. I just want the 'perfect' name that makes everyone think "aww wow, that's just lovely", but I know there will aways be some who aren't keen on something you love. I suppose having a more delicate name will somehow soften the surname, but then I worry that the surname will swamp such a name. Argh

How about after someone famous
here

Eau Savage

I know a Sarah Savage and I always thought that is quite a distinguished name. I think generally the SS aliteration goes well.

I think Savage is a great surname. Not bland and boring like mine.

I think you might want to consider a distinctive name in it's own right. If your first name is unusual people tend to use the surname much less. Obviously they have to go together, but if you up the syllables of the first name I think the surname will recede (especially as it's quite soft in pronunciation). So Rebecca, Francesca, Cordelia, Henrietta type names might work well.

Amelia
Theresa (Tess Savage is cool IMO)
Rowan
Imelda

Theo
Joel

Tiger? Could be a real statement

Lily? Oh hang on, that's already been done, hasn't it?

Seraphina? A bit of alliteration to draw the eye away from the surname...

Double barrelling??

Getting desperate now...

Elizabeth Savage
Kate Savage
Chloe Savage
Frances Savage
Louisa Savage
Flora Savage
Caroline Savage
Angelica Savage
Emma Savage
Susannah Savage
Vivienne Savage
Ella Savage
Maya Savage
Lucy Savage.... I'm just not seeing a problem here at all!

Evie, Grace and Elliot are fine I think

I went to school with a Pippa Savage. Has a nice ring to it.

i cant see a problem with evie or gracie savage tbh. both lovely names and if they are your favourites you might regret not picking one of them later on.

agree elliot savage is a bit of a mouthful.

i have an elliot- it's great, but i am biased, of course.

Cool surname! It has power and energy. Feels much better if you think 'fierce lioness' rather than 'out-of-control yob'. -All about context .

Three syllables with the stress on the first would go best. For example Jennifer Savage and Cecily Savage scan nicely.

Could you hyphenate your surname with your DP's so theres a buffer between the christian name and savage? If not I think these sound nice:

Mark Savage
Calvin Savage
David Savage
Jason Savage

Kate Savage
Elizabeth Savage (quite like that one)
Susannah Savage
Hannah Savage
Lorna Savage

I think that's a great surname. Or do you pronounce it Sa-va-ghe?

What's wrong with Savage? Try growing up with a surname that rhymes with pissed off, then it doesn't really matter what your first name is.

What about Maria?

Adam Savage?

Mythbusters?

As someone else has already said, Fred Savage is the actor from the Wonder Years. He now has two children called Oliver (works well with Savage IMO) and.... wait for it.... Lily!

see here

But it's a wonderfully strong surname - and exciting. I've always liked it.

You know it's a shame because Lily Savage is a very nice name!

What about Sebastian Savage...

...he sounds like a famous author.
