Answer 2

Sage is a terrific boy's name, by the way.

As for names, you can go one of a couple different ways ... pick up a list or book of baby names and choose one from there. Remember, however, names have meaning, they aren't just things that have no significance. Or, you can look at a list of emperors, presidents, kinds, etc. and find a good name there. Nothing wrong with a great name like William or Tyler or Constantine

Sage is actually really cool, so I'd go with that if you like it.

As for girls, I love the name Riley. Riley Michelle is what I plan on naming one of my children. I also really like Asia for a girl, or you can spell it Aja (pronounced the same as Asia). And I like Alexia (Alex for short). I actually plan on using all three of those names for my future children if I have girls. If you're looking for names with a specific meaning, I'd try going to one of the website below. They have lots of names with intersting backgrounds and meanings. Good luck!!
