Comments for the name Saga

The word "saga" means "button" in Lithuanian.

Saga means fairy tale in Swedish.

Saga means "journey" in Portuguese. It's a very famous story by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen.

Saga was the name of the girl who rather wanted to be a boy, and pretended to be so to be allowed to play soccer, in the book and film My Life as a Dog. She was a great boxer.

It is pronounced as SAH-gah.

Saga is the name of the heroine in the show "Sugar: A Little Snow Fairy".

It is the same name as in English: Saga, a fiction-story with loyality and brave characters.

This is my name. Despite having to constantly correct people on its pronunciation, I love it very much.

In some regional variaties of the Anglo-Saxon dialect and Norse language I think this would have been pronounced saa-ya, however, in English saa-ga is the standard which I immediately associate with the idea of a saga, a long story.

It is pronounced as SAY-gah.

Pronounced SAH-gah in Swedish. [noted -ed]

Saga is the bassist for the Visual Kei band Alice Nine. He's amazing at it, too. :) And yes, Saga-san is a man, so this must also be a male name.

This sounds like a cross between sugar and lager, right on man! These are two of my favourite things and I must absolutely name my first-born this, regardless of gender.

In Old Norse the name Saga can mean both 'seeing one' AND 'sage'!

An interesting name that edges the line between quirky-cool and sophisticated.

Well, I like this name. I found the "cross between sugar and lager" comment absolutely hilarious. I like the association with The Sagas, tales of Viking voyages and other histories (I'm pretty sure they were researched for and written by Snorri Sturlason, but I'm not sure if that's his name or if he wrote it) but I dislike the Twilight Saga association. Anyway, it's a trilogy, not a saga. I don't like this as a first name but as a middle name. Sisters' middle names Saga and Sybil would be cute.

Saga is also the Swedish word for fairy tale. [noted -ed]

This name is fun! Even more so that my name is Storey! :)

Decent enough name, but there's also the unfortunate association with the Swedish singer Saga, who is the neo-Nazi answer to Madonna.
