Its NMS, but I wouldnt call it dated. According to this site I use to track popularity (link below), it was #251 in the 80s and #66 in the 90s. As of 2008, it had dropped back down to #88. So I think your DH is officially wrong and here is your proof.
No way! I was born in the 80s and I've never met anyone my age named Paige. I love it!! My best friend is naming her daughter Paige and she's gotten nothing but compliments on it.

I used to think 80s, definitely, but now I hear it more often.
I think it is a very cute name, but unfortunately all of the girls/women I know named Paige are stuck up, so that is what jumps to my mind.
I have a cousin named Paige. She probably comes across as a little stuck up, except she is just very reserved/quiet.
I think it is possibly being used now by people in the lower SES rungs, though, a la Freakanomics.
