Hello all,

Just gave birth to our THIRD girl (healthy and beautiful!).

Now comes the problem - I thought my husband and I were agreed on Sage for a girl, but now that she's out he really wants to name her Quinn. Last name is Wehner, pron. WHEN er.

Daughters 1 and 2 are Hadley Elizabeth and Meriel Arden.

What do people think about these two names? Need MN ideas too.

Some thoughts I had before hubby threw me the loop:

Sage Alexandra
Sage Mirabelle

THANKS!!!

DEFINETLY Sage. It is so pretty and more unique. Quinn just seems masculine and trendy to me, and also unisex. Sage goes better with your other daughters' names as well. I like Sage Mirabelle. Have you considered Sage Devanie or Sage Nicola?

LOVE Sage - it's a top runner on my list - but we're having a boy - and I think it's a more feminine name.

I love the combo Sage Elizabeth (but obviously you can't use that). I do Like Sage with a longer middle name like the ones you have.

Sage Alexandra is nice, but I think Sage Alessandra is a bit softer.
Also, what about:

Sage Annalise
Sage Olivia
Sage Isabella
Sage Catherine
Sage Victoria

Definitely Sage. It's more feminine, goes better with your other daughters' names, and sounds nicer with your last name. Quinn Wehner becomes a bit of a tongue twister as I try not to say Quinn Winner.

Either mn you listed is nice, but Sage Mirabelle Wehner would get my vote.

Congrats on another daughter, and good luck making a decision!

I like Sage much better with your last name. Quinn seems a little sing-songy with Wehner. I love the idea of Sage Mirabelle. Other mn options:

Sage Pilar
Sage Anwen
Sage Delilah
Sage Elspeth (Irish/Scottish version of Elizabeth)
Sage Lisette (French form of Elizabeth)
Sage Christabel
Sage Tabitha
