Sadie or Sarah?

Just that really. Smile

I know Sadie is traditionally a shortening of Sarah, but think it's considered more of a standalone name now (I don't know any Sarahs who get called Sadie...)

Which do you prefer?

I love Biblical names, so it has to be Sarah for me.
I also think it sounds fresher - there are loads of girls with '-ie' names around atm, and whilst Sarah was very popular in the 70s and 80s, it's been out of vogue for a while now. She won't have any others in her class, and if I met a baby Sarah I would think it was a refreshing, sophisticated, and strong choice.
I also like Sara. Although DP doesn't like Sarah or Sara fool so no chance of us ever using either.

I have a Sarah known as Sadie! I absolutely love Sadie but thought I'd give her options. My name can't be shortened, no nicknames etc - dull.

Sarah, Sara or seraphine/a.
There is an old 60s/70s number called " Sadie, the cleaning lady."

Sarah is such a pretty name. V common in the 80s so was a bit dull then - but not now! Go for it!
