Sage: Boy, Girl or Neutral

MandyBeeSLP · June 2016

I have only heard of Sage as a boy's name until I started frequenting this board, and here it seems more popular for girl's. What do you think, is Sage more of a boy's name, a girl's name or is it truly gender neutral?

I definitely see it as feminine, although I've never known anyone with that name.

Boy

Side note: I'm shocked how much this name has been popping up lately.

I'd accept Sage as gender neutral (because it's an herb) but since names like Rosemary and Violet arenever used for boys, I have a hard time swallowing Sage as neutral.

I think Sage is slightly different though, because it is a homonym and can also refer to a wise old man, or as an adjective meaning wise.

My DDs MN is Sage so personally I say girl.

I've known several kids with the name Sage and it has been an equal mixture of boys and girls. I wouldn't side eye it on either.

I've only ever met females named Sage IRL so it's a heavy lean towards being a girl name for me.

The only Sage I've ever met was a girl so I think of it as feminine, but I wouldn't clutch my pearls if I heard it on a boy.

I had this argument with my husband recently. He wanted to name our baby boy Sage but it's all girl in my mind.
