Well... I think this sounds too much like "pages" in a book.

I called my daughter Paige and a lot of people thought it was silly. But now they all love it and it really suits her. I think it sounds lovely and it is not an overly used named over here in Ireland.

I named my first born ... Paije ... Her father chose the name and I chose the spelling of it. Of course I will never find her name on anything, but does it really even matter?
My name is Paige and all I can say is I love it. At first I didn't like it because everyone always made fun of my name because it's so close to pages in a book, but after a while I really started to like it. It's not very common and it sounds pretty but I would really like to learn more about it. Like where it comes from and what it really means. I think it would be fun to learn about my name a little more.
Well, my name is Paige and I know exactly what you mean about loving it now but hating it then. I was ALWAYS so embarrassed about my name until I was a teenager. Suddenly eveyone who heard my name told me how much they loved it or how pretty it was. I always get positive comments about my name. I am 34 now and I have enjoyed more than 20 years of good comments and only a few elementary school years of teasing. I love it so much, I proudly state it whenever I can. :-)
I do not like this name for a few reasons. First of all, I think it sounds too similar to pages in a book. I also do not like the Paiges I have met in my lifetime. I would never name my child this.

I love the name Paige. It sounds pretty. It would be pretty even for a child. If children act theit age, the girls at least would appreciate this name.
I think this name with Aby is beautiful. If I had twins, the 1st born would be Paige-Abby (first and middle but meant to be said together). 2nd born would be Dawn-Ally (same thing).
I love the name Paige! It is my middle name. Did you know that Paige is the best middle name under the sun? Yeah, it goes with ANYTHING! Throw any name out there and then pair it up with Paige. It goes no matter what! Agnes Paige, Kayley Paige, Anais Paige, Jessica Paige, anything! All I ask is parents, don't change the spelling so it is Kre8tif. That will spoil any name. I mean the world could use some more Paiges, but not Paije, Paiheje, Payge, or anything else!

I like this name, even though I think of it more as a middle name. But it's still a cool name.
I like this name. I think it sounds strong and confident. I prefer it spelt this way, with an "i". I like how this is an uncommon name, too. Maybe in the future I'll use it as a middle name.
I don't know why, I just really dislike this name. I hate the way it sounds for some reason, even though I know a few people with this as their middle name. It's kind of boring and not very feminine or pretty at all.

Paige Davis was the host of TLC's "Trading Spaces" for several seasons.
I think this is a pretty name, except I have never met a girl named Paige that was not mean and all full of herself, therefore when I meet someone with this name it gives me a bad impression of them, unfortunately. Still, names do not mean everything so I guess it is an okay name.
Oh right, this name certainly isn't common at all, right? WRONG! This is by far one of the most popular girls' names of both the 1990s and 2000s. Really everyone, check the popularity data. This name would be somewhat more pleasant if it wasn't so common.
My name is Heather Paige. I agree with the previous-poster who stated that Paige is a great middle name. It goes well with almost any other non-two syllable name. I did not like it when I was young but when I hit high school I began liking it pretty well and then so many of my friends and such fell in love with it that several of them have given this name as a middle name for their daughters. Simple and quaint. Blessings.
For everyone who said Paige is a bad name because of its meaning, you obviously don't have a brain. "Servant" isn't always a bad word, and "attendant" isn't a negative word at all. It could mean someone who is there for someone who is sick, or someone who tends to other's needs. And, back in medieval times, a page was a young boy who was an apprentice to a knight. If you ask me, it is a strong, beautiful name for a girl or boy, though I think it better for a girl.
"For everyone who said Paige is a bad name because of its meaning, you obviously don't have a brain."
Obviously they do otherwise they'd not be typing. D'oh.
It's setting the bar a little bit low to use this on a kid. Seriously, a poor aspirational name. Other than that, it just sounds cold and empty. I've never met a real life Paige. My only experience has been ditzy, shallow or nasty types in American films.
I am a Paige and as a child I couldn't stand it, everyone who heard my name told me how pretty it was. No one else had it. Now (I'm 16) I don't think it's too bad, and since there are more Paiges I don't get the pretty comments. Although it is annoying for there to be more than one Paige.
What a lovely name (but I don't like the origin meaning: "little boy"). Anyway, it is not the girl's fault that this beautiful names sounds like something in a book.
There's so many snobby royalty names that it's actually kinda nice to see names based on humble hard-working common people like servants. And it sounds simple and sweet.
I don't see why anyone would think it's stupid just because it sounds like pages in a book. What the heck's wrong with that?
My name is Paige and I like it okay, although I think it is a little too cutesy, "young," and boring. It has also become too popular, which has only contributed to its vapidity. On the bright side, having an "i" smack in the middle of your name is great, as it looks appealing when you are little and you want to dot it with a star, heart, smiley face, flower etc.
It's too new and too surnamey. I think it will date horribly. Why someone would name their daughter with somebody else's surname that's not part of her heritage beats me! After all, there are so many beautiful bona fide forenames already in existence.
A horribly ugly name with a bad meaning to back it up. My mom wants to name my new baby sister this, and I shall not cease to try and convince her otherwise. I just can't stand it.
Paige Michalchuk (portrayed by Lauren Collins) was a regular character on the Canadian teen soap, "Degrassi: The Next Generation", from 2001-2009. Initially presented as the self-centred Queen Bee, Paige evolved into a heroine within the show.
Paige McCullers (portrayed by Lindsay Shaw) was introduced as a recurring character, and love interest to the character of Emily Fields (portrayed by Shay Mitchell), in the 2010 television series "Pretty Little Liars". Paige was presented as a groundbreaking character due to her "coming out" as homosexual.
All my life I have disliked this name. I don't know why. I knew a girl with this name and she was nice. Recently, this name has been growing on me. I still think it's not a good first name, but a great middle name. I agree with the "It's just like 'Manservant' with an 'i' or an 'e' thrown in: Manservainte" comment, but the meaning isn't that bad if you interpret it as "servant of God." But you'd need a name before it that meant "belonging to God" or something like that for the name to have the meaning of "servant of God."
Yet another terrible surname-derived name. It doesn't have any real history behind it, and sounds awful in general. The name is also very silly. If you like the meaning so much, why not choose a name that means 'kind' or 'helpful'?

This name is so boring and unappealing. I really can't understand its popularity at all.
I hate this name with a passion. I even hate it more when us African Americans use this name. I don't think this name fits right for an African American child. I am African American myself and there are other names out there other than Paige we can use. Paige doesn't fit for a black child, I can only see this on an Anglo-Saxon child.
Me and my friend don't really like the name Paige. It reminds us of a servant and a book. Ew! It's chavvy and disgusting. It's also boring. Why would you EVER call your child ppppaaayyyyaaaggggee.
I do kind of like the sound of this name, and with this spelling. I don't really care about name meanings that much unless they're specifically negative, which most are not, but knowing this means "little boy" kind of ruins the idea of it being a girl name.
My first name is Paige. Personally, I don't find my name very pretty or feminine, but it's a good name. It's a little rough around the edges with its harsh pronunciation, but once you get used to it, it's not bad. I have been given several nicknames to go along with my name, including 'book', 'paper', and 'tree' but they were all given in good humor.
I love the name Sage but not Paige. It sounds very plain and boring. Anyways, would you like to be named after a part of a book? No. The name is too common for what it really is.
Paige may sound horrible, but, when you see it on a person you may like it better. Thats what happened to me. Paige sounds so sweet and strong, not girly, not a tomboy name.
