im gonna name my baby ( in the future )
[name_f]Nina[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
but i love the name [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and i like it with pretty much with everything
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
I like:
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Teagan[/name_u] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] (though [name_u]Teagan[/name_u] seems to be getting trendy lately, if that matters)
[name_u]Mica[/name_u] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Laiken[/name_u] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Caia[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Beretta[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] (idk how you’d feel about [name_f]Beretta[/name_f], though, but I think it sounds badass)
[name_f]Briony[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
Annadeak - [name_f]Glad[/name_f] you like [name_u]Sage[/name_u] too! Such a yummy little name.
Tarynamber - I love the name [name_u]Teagan[/name_u] (I prefer spelling it [name_u]Tegan[/name_u]) but I had a good friend in high school by that name so I wouldn’t use it. I like [name_u]Mica[/name_u] too but might be too unisex for me with [name_u]Sage[/name_u]. And I like [name_f]Briony[/name_f] & [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] but they’re not for us.
Emcat - Some great suggestions there! Thanks especially for [name_u]Zuri[/name_u], [name_f]Eowyn[/name_f] & [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] Unfortunately those won’t work for us for various reasons. [name_f]Indi[/name_f] is so sweet too! Our leading name right now (though I’m not 100% sold on it yet - thats why I’m looking for more suggestions) is [name_f]Indira[/name_f] nn [name_f]Indy[/name_f].
Lis09 - I love [name_f]Perdita[/name_f] and [name_f]Pandora[/name_f]! Funny cause I’m usually not big on P names for girls. I love [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] too! [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is pretty but I don’t know if its strong enough to stand next to our daughter Azula.
Really appreciate the suggestions! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] more people will lend some ideas.
Faithnamer - Yes I’m very content with [name_u]Sage[/name_u] as a middle name for this baby - I’m just getting frustrated trying to find the right first name! I quite like [name_f]Violet[/name_f]- I know its apparently a bit trendy right now but I don’t know many little Violets around here. [name_f]Esther[/name_f] is definitely fabulous but a bit traditional next to sister Azula. And [name_f]Indigo[/name_f] is beautiful (and I would still get [name_f]Indy[/name_f] as a nickname) but DH says he isn’t crazy about it.
Some other names I love that he isn’t keen on:
[name_f]Coral[/name_f], [name_f]Ursula[/name_f], [name_f]Esparanza[/name_f], Marzanna, [name_u]Juniper[/name_u].
Azula is lovely! I mentioned it to my pregnant sister- I got it from seeing your signature. I like the letter z. If you want to continue the z theme:
[name_u]Ezri[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]- [name_u]Sage[/name_u] doesn’t work the best with this, perhaps
[name_f]Inez[/name_f]
[name_f]Kezia[/name_f]
[name_u]Sarazen[/name_u]
Rkrd - I like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]! I had a good friend named [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] in high school, she was a really interesting person. I like [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] (and all its variations) too but think if I suggested it my husband would counter with just [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] since that’s his grandma’s name (which I think would be too curt sounding with [name_u]Sage[/name_u]).
Ellaj18- I like Novana (and [name_f]Nova[/name_f]) I’ll run that past my guy & see what he thinks. I also like [name_f]Luna[/name_f] but our friends have a dog named [name_f]Luna[/name_f] so its not a “people name” for us anymore. [name_f]Valencia[/name_f] is lovely, that was on our list not too long ago. I like [name_f]Ginger[/name_f] but since I’m a redhead it might be smart to avoid that one… And I really like [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f]! I will see if [name_u]Corey[/name_u] likes that since it would honour his grandma.
Triss - Thanks! We loved Azula right away the first time we heard it so it had been our #1 pick for a girl for years before we ever got pregnant. We get a lot of mixed reactions to it but most people really like it once they get used to it. I like the suggestion of [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] but agree it might be a bit too earthy with [name_u]Sage[/name_u], & [name_u]Corey[/name_u] doesn’t care for [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] anyway. So many Z names are awesome. Our friends named their daughter [name_f]Zenya[/name_f], which I especially love. I thought at first that it sounded too much like [name_f]Xena[/name_f], but now I really like their pick. And their daughter is really… zen. So calm and quiet.
Judyariel- Thanks for all your suggestions! I really like [name_u]Peri[/name_u], that is a little nicknamey but very cute. And [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] is lovely too! I would just be worried about people calling her [name_f]Dora[/name_f], since that’s really not one of my favourites.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]- Oh man so many beauties here! I love [name_f]Junia[/name_f] and [name_f]Libra[/name_f] but I already know my husband hates them. And [name_f]Moira[/name_f] has been one of my all time loves. [name_f]Ravenna[/name_f] is really gorgeous as well & I have NEVER heard Pulzella before so not sure what to think of that one just yet! I know a little girl named [name_f]Odessa[/name_f], it is a really fantastic name.
I would love to hear more suggestions from other berries!
We lean toward brave and unusual names.
I prefer that a name be intuitively spelled (no [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]'s for me) and reasonably easy to pronounce.
[name_f]Indira[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] is gorgeous! And fits wonderfully with Azula [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. Personally I think you should stop looking, but that’s just me.
