Re: Paige
in reply to a message by Lily
I always liked this name when I was younger. I wouldn't worry too much about the meaning though. most people don't know the meanings to names. so it doesn't matter too much. i like the Paige spelling better because it looks like a name. Page looks like a book. though if i were naming a boy i would use either Page or Payge to make it more masculine.

Do you really think Payge makes it more masculine? I think Ys always add to the femininity of a name. The problem with the meaning is is that a page is a servant and it's also a word. At least where I live :/

Yes page is a word meaning servant, but how often is it really used? It's certinately not a common word nowadays.I think page as in pages of a book is a much more common useage, and probably the first thing people would think of with the name Paige. Few people would hear the word "page" and think servant first...

When I think of a person and Paige, I think of a Page Boy w/ that special little haircut before a book ever comes to mind... Guess I'm 1 of the few.

You're probably right. It's hardly ever used which is good :)

i never heard it used as servant before. and most of the time I do think they the Y make it more feminine but for some reason it just looks masculine in this name.
