[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!
A new addition to my list is [name_f]Paige[/name_f], but I’m having a hard time discerning the imagery completely, as well as whether it feels more modern or vintage. Most of the names on my list have a classic and vintage feel, so is [name_f]Paige[/name_f] a total outlier? What do you see the aesthetic of [name_f]Paige[/name_f] being?
Thank you

Paige is very 2000’s to me - not a bad thing, I really like Paige, but the association is definitely there! I think it’d be difficult to call it classic or vintage considering it only entered the top 1000 for the first time in 1952, the top 500 in 1962, and it peaked in 2003.

I agree that it feels very modern 90’s/early 2000’s. [name_m]Tennis[/name_m] skirts, rollerblades, citrus popsicles? Very preppy, sporty, summery vibes.

I could kind of see it as vintage, but it does give a beggining of 21st century vibe. But it’ll never be dated!
I can picture old converse shoes, summer ice cream cones, afternoon picnics and braids, and I can also picture a prep-school vibe.
I may be biased, tho…

I like it but it does feel very baby-born-in-2005 for me

I get similar vibes to @XxIzzixX bit it feels like the kind of name that should be more vintage than it is? If that makes sense. I can imagine there being Victorian and wartime Paiges even though there probably weren’t

It definitely feels more modern to me. I could see it in sibsets with names like [name_u]Brooke[/name_u], [name_u]Shelby[/name_u], [name_u]Lauren[/name_u], [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], etc.

Modern to me! There were a few Paiges at school with me in then 90s and 00s, and definitely a fair few in the years below as well. I’ve personally never heard of a [name_f]Paige[/name_f] older than about 35.

[name_f]Paige[/name_f] is sweet but it definitely feels modern to me! Like most here, I think [name_f]Paige[/name_f] feels very 90s and early 2000s.

Oh, certainly modern! [name_u]An[/name_u] early aughts, late nineties name for sure. I get a Sweet [name_f]Valley[/name_f] High books, Clueless film, kid-from-the-valley feeling from the name.
I think it’s a wondrous match with your [name_f]Gillian[/name_f]! They feel very stylistically matched, if that’s something you find important above all for a siblings set. Perhaps with more vintage names (like [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], those sort) as middles.

Not a fan of modern feeling names… I’ll probably shelve it for now, but thank you 
Personally I think a lot of my more vintage choices would work with [name_f]Gillian[/name_f], namely [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], as well as Imogen… [name_f]Gillian[/name_f] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] would make a lovely sibset, along with [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], and maybeee [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] “Frankie”.
What else would you reccomend for [name_f]Gillian[/name_f]?
(Please not [name_f]Beth[/name_f] though, or Bethany.)
Very 90s, it was on my teenage name list 
. I still very much like it but I’d only ever use as a middle. I think it would be refreshing used now - it’s been long enough to feel ‘retro’ without feeling dated as it was never too popular, at least where I am.
To me Paige is between modern and vintage. It isn’t really modern anymore but not quite vintage yet either. If I had to choose I’d indeed say it’s closer to modern.
Maybe Erica, Ruby, Evangeline, Luciana, Vivian or Sabina?
Definitely '90s and '00s to me- I think of someone who’s roughly 15-30 ish right now.
To me [name_f]Gillian[/name_f] feels vintage, and [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] feels modern—such a difference that first letter makes!
With [name_f]Gillian[/name_f], I love [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f], [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], Faye…

I’m not in full agreement with others. I know three Paiges born in the 60s and know of it used as mn several times before 2000s. The summertime, braids, roller blades, pastels image works for me, though.
I can also see her as quiet, tailored, studious, working at her desk, accomplished. Like a female engineer.
I think it is a long-running name with no wild popularity. I think it works in [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], [name_u]Lauren[/name_u], [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] sibsets but also in [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] sibsets. Why not [name_f]Paige[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] groups? I’ll also pitch as very good in [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Faith[/name_f], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], Anne-type sibsets.

Now also thinking of a [name_f]Paige[/name_f], [name_f]Gretchen[/name_f], [name_u]Camille[/name_u], [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], [name_f]Gillian[/name_f], [name_u]Laurel[/name_u], [name_f]Lilac[/name_f], Ivy-type sibset.
[name_f]Paige[/name_f] has never really felt vintage to me. I feel as though [name_f]Paige[/name_f] fits with other popular names of the 00s like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_u]Madison[/name_u], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Mckayla[/name_f] (not my favourite spelling but it fits the vibe more), [name_u]Brook[/name_u] and [name_u]Addison[/name_u].
Modern.
