I've fallen in love all over again with Paige because of its simplicity and because it's not super trendy and never really has been. What do you think about it? Last name is in my sig. What would you pair with it as a middle name? I'd love to use Hebrew names as middle names for my kids, since I'm Jewish, but it's not an absolute dealbreaker. Thanks!

I have a cousin named Paige Judith... But she hates it she thinks it's bland compared to her siblings & other cousins names.

I knew quite a few Paiges in my time, it has a definite 80's-90's flavour to it. Nothing wrong with that, it's one of the nicer, calmer ones.

Some combos:

Paige Adina
Paige Ariel (just go to town with the 80's thing, why not)
Paige Hannah - think this might be my fave. nice and soft
Paige Leah
Paige Margalit
Paige Marganita
Paige Marni
Paige Talya
Paige Yaffa

I've always liked it. I had a friend named Paige when I was about five or six; very cute girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. Real nice, too.

Hebrew middle name? Let's see...

Paige Avital
Paige Delilah
Paige Leah
Paige Miriam (pretty!)
Paige Moriah
Paige Naomi
Paige Noah
Paige Tamar

Paige not trendy? I'd disagree with that. It had a huge burst in popularity in the 60s then again in the 80s and 90s and has been sitting in the top 100 for some time.

I don't really like it - too trendy for me.

Paige needs an unstressed syllable next to it. Paige Rachel wouldn't work, for instance. Though, come to think of it, Paige Pnina does. Very alliterative, though. And Paige Miriam just might ...

Paige Susannah (or Shoshana)
Paige Rebekah, though not Rivka
Paige Devorah, though not Deborah
Paige Silvana (I've known a few Jewish Sylvias)
Paige Yael
Paige Diana, though not Dinah unfortunately
Paige Tamara, though not Tamar unfortunately

Paige Dalton sounds good. I find Paige a little dull but you're right about it not being too trendy or popular.
