Sadie

There’s a gorgeous little Sadie at our local school

Nope, just listen to the song ‘Sadie the cleaning lady’ by John Farnham. That’s the only Sadie I have heard of!

I think of marquid de Sade and Sadism... maybe not everyone does!

I met one recently and thought it was an awful name (just because I would think Sade and Sad.)

I know a couple of teens called Sadie and a woman in her 30s. I don't think of it as a pet name at all.

I love it

I like it but that doesn't really matter. If OH hates it, probably best avoided.

I just see Sad and Sadist when I see the name Sadie.

Although it does remind me of Sadie Mae Glutz, the Manson girl who was there the night of the Sharon Tate murder. Which is the only reason I didn’t consider it for my DD (had just finished reading the book about it when I found out I was pregnant!)

LOVE it

DS would have been Sadie.

Love it.

terriblecustomercervix Haha doesn't surprise me at all that my MIL was talking shite. She always did! I'm glad it doesn't mean that, I've always loved the name- she obviously didn't and tried to make something up about it. Kind of typical of her tbh.

I adore Sadie. I think it’s so lovely and is a name that works well across ages.

It's cute

Sorry but as a child our dog was called Sadie so not my first choice

I love it, also love other “old lady” names such as Connie, Nancy etc

I had great nana Sadie and Connie 😂

My nana Sadie, was actually a Sarah but everyone used her nickname and called her Sadie.

Bigus, your MIL was talking shite.

(I’m from NI with multiple great-aunties called Sadie)

I love Sadie - used to work with someone called this who has been registered as Mercedes.
As to it being a pet’s name, that wouldn’t bother me at all. Lots of people give their pets what I would call a human name nowadays.

I wanted this 18 yrs ago when I was pregnant with DS. I'm pretty sure my MIL who was from Northern Ireland told me it meant slag or whore of something similar there 😕

I have a Sadhbh and tried to introduce Sadie as a nickname when she was tiny.

DH was having NONE of it.

So similarly to others, I love it, DH has no taste and vetoed.

Nice. Makes me think of the Beatles track.

I don’t see it as a pets name

I adore the name Sadie- it’s on my list

I think it's a bad name but I don't think of a pet

I love the name Sadie but I do also know a dog with the name!

I don’t love it but I don’t think it’s a pet’s name.

I don’t see sad I see (hear) Sadism.

Love but we already have one in the family so couldn’t use myself!
