Because my Second Life name was Sage Beckenbauer (holy lord I'm such a geek)
This was around oh, a year ago, and I thought Sage was a nicely sexy without being overused sort of name.
Hence, I became Sage, because I liked the name. I never even thought of the "Sage= old wise person" until about three months later
