Paige

[disappearhere]

Do you like this name? My BF can't decide if she likes it or not. She has a DD called Nicole and a DS called Jake.

So your daughter is called Saskia?Well that is a beautiful name not chavvy at all(?!)Don't understand why you got bent out of shape.Why so vindictive?I've never offended you I don't even know you x

I have never ever known of a Paige so can not comment. Is it really popular enough to have a label??

wtf

Vicky Pollard?I suggest you look at me my family pictures....

klass

Thanks for the pat on the back CinderellaRach. Preferable to the kiss locket received.

Klass indeed! lots of that about tonight methinks.

Almost afraid to comment however back to OP, I am not from the UK and don't get the chav association - I think that it's a pretty, feminine and underused name.

I would put it with other American-type names like Peyton and Kendall and Addison. You would find it in the Atlanta burbs, and yes, her siblings would be Nicole and Jake.

I agree with mathanxiety, it goes well with the other names, it sounds a little American (although Elaine Paige is what immediately came to my mind) and I don't like it. Maybe that's because Nicole now makes me think Nicole Ritchie, which therefore in my mind means no class at all. I guess a few years ago it would have made me think "Papa" and car adverts, so it shows how changeable these things are.

I quite like it but very American

This thread has descended into chaos! I'm afraid the name Paige to me is dated, too harsh, and sounds rather vacant.

Whats wrong with you all?It's just a name-not outlandish,'chavvy' or ugly-a bit 'yesterday' but inoffensive.

omg, what mean responses some of you .
I know a lovely 7yo ENGLISH girl called Paige, pale (peaches and cream) skin with beautiful freckles and a gentle sweet manner. Her mother teaches people to ride horses; they are among the least 'chavvy' people I can think of.

I've got a vague recollection of it meaning something like servant, will look...

Poppy.
Now there's a name that sounds like it should belong to a dog and not on the top of a CV that is meant to impress anybody. But Poppy is the darling name for middle classes girls -- the next female PM probably WILL be called Poppy.

Meanwhile, Paige or Nicole, which are real names, as good as any name, get labeled as bad taste 'chav'.

Honestly, I don't understand people .

(Okay, okay, I will endeavor not to get riled about this any more ).

Erm GhoulsAreLoud isn't the servant a 'page' as in page boy? As in to page someone I suppose (?maybe, who knows).

Awful lot of bickering going on here. To me Paige, Morgan, Drew etc just sound very American. But then as soon as a little Paige, Morgan Drew or whatever appears on film or TV then I suppose the name becomes popular here. As to it's sociological status, well you never know - as I've said before, I have an elder cousin named Tracy because her mother thought High Society was really classy. I know lots of little Amelies because their mothers thought the film was really classy and French you know - whether the name will become ahem, well, some of the descriptions on here that shall remain unspoken, is anyone's guess.

Yes bellissima

What's with the erm, btw?

Just a hesitation ! (I'd had a glass of wine). But what I want to know is does 'to page someone' (like the handsome A&E doc when the patient suddenly collapses etc) come from page? suppose it must - you sent a page boy.

sorry for hijack. wonder where the 'i' came from. and why it became a girl's and not a boy's name...

get back to ironing school kit bellissima (groan)
