I have posted a few times on here about names I love and character names. I am not expecting yet but I recently came up with a name for a girl my family (I think) will like because they can pronounce the first name at least xD. 
 
Genesis Sage

WDYT? Too many S's there? 

My brother had a baby girl not too long ago and he was going to name her Genesis Vanessa but he went for Vanessa and dropped the Genesis which made me so happy...

Not too many S's, but it kinda runs together..

It is pretty name though :)

Thank you =)

Too TVSciFi for my tastes, but not too bad...

[illy-borgia.livejournal.com]

Lol funy you would mention SciFi because I write a lot of SciFi stuff xD. Thank you though!

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

{grin} So do I, which is probably why it struck me...

Genesis Sage is DEFINATELY better than Denesis Vanessa :)

[chillinbabejodi.livejournal.com]

That was obviously supposed to say Genesis..

[illy-borgia.livejournal.com]

Yeah I thought the same, I am so glad he dropped the name and I hope he has no other daughters and decides to use it...

it runs together into Genesis Age.

I hadn't realized that! Thanks for the opinion though!

Sage is one of my absolute favourites. But never on a girl. And I think that Genesis is kind of awful. I've never heard it on anybody before, I can't believe that you and your brother would both like it. Is it common where you live or something?

I do think that Genesis and Sage run together, a lot. Genesis Age is what it sounds like.

I do see it as a uni name... I actually know of a male Sage too but I know a female Sage as well... As for Genesis being popular? It isn't really popular but it is used enough here. Oddly where I work there's like three girls named Genesis and only one Monica.

Trying too hard.

[illy-borgia.livejournal.com]

hmmm what do you mean exactly?

[mrandmrschippy.livejournal.com]

I mean that Genesis Sage comes across – to me - as trying to be unique, or says 'hey everyone, look how hip we are'.

Paradoxically, Genesis is in 139th place in the US statistics of new births (i.e. 139th most popular), up from 590th in 1990, only a little less popular than Charlotte and Ruby, which are in 102nd and 116th place respectively. Source (http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/).

(Also, compare to Susan, which is 644th, and Susanna, which hasn’t been in the top 1000 for over ten years).

So, in the great celebrity-babyname-inspired race to be unique, you can up being just like everyone else.

Of course, it’s possible that you like Genesis specifically because of its popularity (you say 3 women at work are called Genesis), in which case it’s a good choice. But as you also say the name ‘isn’t really popular’ I’m assuming that’s not your reason for liking it.

[illy-borgia.livejournal.com]

Well I don't like it because it's popular or anything because I don't even live in the US xD But I do see what you mean. I just like the name and here there's a few peopl with the name yes, but I don't really look at that either (I live in South America). Although I do like the fact that she won't be given weird looks for the name if she is raised in this country... I find most hispanics are 'used to' the name but it's basically not Maria. I hope I explained this good enough, I am rather sleepy xD. Thanks for your opinion though =).

[mrandmrschippy.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, I read it's really popular in Chile, like in the top 50 names, but it didn't occur to me you were in S.America.

Entirely different context, so scrub everything.

trying too hard to what?

[mrandmrschippy.livejournal.com]

See my reply to OP on this thread.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i reallyyyyyy hate genesis. i love sage though.

[illy-borgia.livejournal.com]

funny because I thought everyone's responce to Sage was going to be what most people think about Genesis. Thank you for your opinion.

Despite the fact that it SOUNDS nice, Genesis Sage is too Phil Collins for me lol.
