Please offer your honest opinion on this name for a baby boy Sage Matthew R. Thanks for your time I am due in about 5 weeks and I am very concerned with a decision that will last a lifetime for my baby.

The only Sage I knew was a girl, and it was cool for her, but I haven't met another one, so it could be a toss-up for a boy or girl I guess.

I think it is a very nice name. Everyone will have their opinion and it may sway you away from a name you probably took months to choose, so don't listen to anyone else and go with the name you love. I have chosen some "different" names and am determined to not let anyone turn me away from them. Here's an example of the names I like:

Thora, Adora, Calla and Dahlia for a girl

Weston, Preston and Gunther for a boy

Not usual names I know, which is exactly why I love them, and why I think you should totally go with Sage!

Best of luck

I love the name Sage! Sage Matthew is very cute! I have seen Sage used as a girls name, so i dont kno if that bothers you, but to me it is strictly a boys name. GL!

I like Sage, too, but I do not like unisex names for boys. I tend to think a boy's name should be clearly boy, and Sage is being used for girls. So, that's the only reason I wouldn't use it.......if you don't mind unisex names, go for it. It sounds great with Matthew.

I love the name Sage! and Sage Matthew sounds great together. I would use it if I were you and I would not worry about what other people think of the name.

Sage is the name of Sylvester Stallone's grown son. He played in a Rocky movie as Rocky and Adrian's son so that is the picture I see when I think of the name Sage. Tall, dark, and masculine. I think it's a fine name.

Sage Matthew sounds just right. Congratulations!

At first I was inclined to write that Sage definitely sounds feminine.

to me, Sage is a girls name. I can't see that on a boy.

if you like the sound, how about Gage Matthew. that's definitely boy.
