What do you think of Paget? According to the site, it is a female name related to Paige, but I'm not sure if it sounds like a female name to me. I do think it is kind of cute, but a little too much like a surname. What do you think?

how do you say?

PA-jet? pa-JET? pa-ZHAY?

I think its cute. I think it would be nifty for a boy mostly. It's not too surnamey to me, because it's not MacPaget or Pagetson. Pagé is a family surname for me, so maybe I'm biased in liking it :)

I like it but I'm biased because I'm a Paget Brewster fan. I never heard the name before her but she made the name really grow on me.
I read somewhere that she was named after the actress Debra Paget.

It's a disease

Four of them, in fact. I immediately think of Paget's disease of the breast, which is a kind of breast cancer. Also, it's a surname and has a wholly unappealing sound.

To me, I get the surname vibe too. Probably because it reminds me of Piaget. I don't hate it, but it isn't my favorite.

Reminds me of Jean Piaget so not exactly feminine in my mind!

Brewster

:) Prentiss on Criminal Minds's real name is Paget.

It reminds me of the word, pageant. I don't like it, I think it's unattractive. I prefer the adorable, Paige.

The actress on Criminal Minds has this name and I never have any idea how to pronounce it. Is it paige-it, padge-it, paige-et or padge-et? However it's pronounced I'm not a fan; it doesnt look like a real name to me.

I know someone with this last name, and she pronounces it padge-et
