My maiden name is [name]Sage[/name] and I love this name for a future girl and the hubby wants to name her [name]Sage[/name] [name]Marie[/name] (my name). So basically my name backwards but I’m not sure. What do you guys think, would you do it? Also what do you think of the name in general?
I like [name]Sage[/name], but if [name]Marie[/name] is your first name, I would consider a different middle name for your daughter. You are already honoring youself and your family by using [name]Sage[/name], which I love, but [name]Marie[/name] would be overkill. [name]Marie[/name] makes a good middle name because it flows well, but there are a lot of names that would work with [name]Sage[/name].
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Lucille[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Hermione[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Meredith[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Vanessa[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name]
etc etc
I think [name]Sage[/name] is a beautiful choice to honor your side of the family! If youre not 100% on your name in the middle spot, I’d explore some other options to give her one name that’s different from mom’s. From your sig, [name]Sage[/name] [name]Vittoria[/name] is lovely.
(Off topic, but funny: when I first read the title, I thought you were talking about pulling a [name]Neveah[/name] and going to name her [name]Sage[/name] backwards (Egas)…this is much much better!!)
I think your husband’s idea is lovely! But if you are not comfortable giving little [name]Sage[/name] the middle name of [name]Marie[/name], how about:
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Margot[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Maren[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Melinda[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
I find [name]Sage[/name] [name]Marie[/name] a very pretty name.
I also like [name]Sage[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]!
Thanks for the comments! I think I’ve pretty much decided against using my name in the middle, it’s just really overkill.
My heritage is Italian so I really wanted to use something honoring that in the middle but I also have a few other favorites.
Opinions on these favorites so far…
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Vittoria[/name] (top contender)
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Hermione[/name] (I can’t help it, I love HP)
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Lucilla[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Lucia[/name]
What are your favorite combos from these?
I also like [name]Sage[/name] [name]Vittoria[/name] because she has lots of options for what she goes by because she could go by [name]Tori[/name], [name]Sage[/name], or [name]Vittoria[/name].
Or off beat here [name]Sage[/name] [name]Rose[/name], [name]Sage[/name] [name]Harper[/name], or [name]Sage[/name] [name]Avery[/name].
[name]Love[/name] that you can use your maiden name as a first. My nephew has his mothers maiden name and I love it but mine just doesn’t work. My favorite is [name]Sage[/name] [name]Penelope[/name].
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Vittoria[/name] is my second favorite after [name]Sage[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]
I like [name]Sage[/name] [name]Hermione[/name] best.
Another vote for [name]Sage[/name] [name]Vittoria[/name].
(like lineska, I also thought for a minute you were thinking of Egas. Whew!)
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] is my favorite!
