Gone But Not Forgotten (Names kicked off the Master List after revisions)

Saige as a masculine name represents a gender-crossing usage of what has traditionally been more common as a feminine name in recent decades. Derived from the herb sage (Salvia), the name carries connotations of wisdom and knowledge—sage has long been a term for a wise person. The alternative spelling with 'i' gives it a contemporary touch while maintaining the connection to its meaningful roots. While Saige has gained moderate popularity as a girl's name in the United States since the 2000s, its use for boys remains relatively uncommon, making it a distinctive choice. The name's short, strong sound works well for any gender, offering a modern unisex option with ancient wisdom associations.

Teegan is a contemporary feminine name with Irish and Welsh origins. It likely derives from the Irish surname Ó Tadhgáin (descendant of Tadhgán) or possibly from the Welsh 'teg' meaning 'fair' or 'beautiful.' The name emerged in popularity primarily in the late 20th century in North America and Australia. Teegan carries a modern, energetic quality with its crisp sounds and rhythmic flow. For girls, it represents a balance between strength and approachability, appealing to parents seeking a name that's distinctive without being difficult to pronounce or spell. Though still relatively uncommon, Teegan has established itself as a recognizable contemporary choice that fits with trends favoring two-syllable names with strong consonant sounds.
