Hi Jennifer,

I recently met a young lady with the name Beige, and I simply love it! I think it is a great alternative to Paige, and I noticed that it is not in the database! Could you add it?

Dear C Lou,

I love adding new names, so yes I have added the name Beige to our database. I don’t know how I feel about it, though, and probably would not recommend it as a baby name. As you know it is a color, but it’s also an adjective for things that are…well, boring. That being said, the name Gray and Grayson have become very popular!

Readers: what do you think about the name Beige?

Sincerely,

Jennifer
