I LOVE the name Sadie, I think it is cool and suits any age. my granny would have said it was 'common'

Also like Isabella, tho v popular at the moment but at least she could pick a nn she liked from it. Not so keen on Amber, it's a bit meh.

R.E name Amber... It's nice "but" reminds me of Amber leaf Tobacco

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 29/11/2014 00:52

Sadie is the best cute girly and suits you through life
Amber is nice reminds me of Amber leaf tobacco
Isabella I really do not like and they're 10 a penny.

skyra13 · 28/11/2014 18:16

I like Amber personally its such a pretty name.

The other 2 not really my cup of tea.

EmilyGilmore · 28/11/2014 17:40

Sexy Sadie???

Not keen on Amber. Isabella is the nicest, if you don't mind there being lots of them around.

Madamecastafiore · 28/11/2014 13:59

Agree with Blue.

Amber is striperish, Sadie just can't be said nicely and Isabella (although DD2s middle name) a bit over used.

moxon · 28/11/2014 13:57

Have you considered 'Girl', OP? I like the novelty, ironically.

Riverland · 28/11/2014 13:53

Isabella, lovely but ubiquitous.

Sadie..meter lady. Not a good name for gravitas.

Amber..agree it's a bit exotic dancer 90's.

MehsMum · 28/11/2014 13:45

I've only ever known one Sadie.
Dead posh (landowning posh).

Agree with PPs who reckon Isabella (and variants) has been done to death.

AdorableAbbie · 28/11/2014 13:45

I prefer Sadie and Amber.

hlc123 · 28/11/2014 13:13

I love Sadie and like Amber but not so keen on Isabella

MrsBungle · 28/11/2014 11:37

I really like all 3 although Isabella is very popular. Sadie is my favourite.

Spanielpuppy · 28/11/2014 11:35

Amber or Sadie. Isabella is very over used.

squoosh · 27/11/2014 23:32

Isabella - nice name but has been done.to.death in the last few years. I hereby ban further use of the name Isabella.

Sadie - the name of a heroine from a Catherine Cookson novel. 72nd daughter to a poor coal miner, against the odds she goes on to make her millions building up a chain of hardware stores. She's a bit chippy.

Amber - love it. Posh, beautiful hippy girl who lives in Ibiza and is a muse to a sexy but ancient artist. He tragically dies one sunny afternoon but happily leaves her his most valuable works. She's fond of an ankle bracelet.

DramaAlpaca · 27/11/2014 23:16

I like Isabella very much, but it's become very popular.

Amber has a very 1990s feel to it. It's dated, but it's OK as a name.

I know it's used as a name in its own right these days, but Sadie still sounds like a nickname to me.

onehellofaride · 27/11/2014 23:08

I like Isabella not too sure on Sadie and Amber although we were going to call DS Amber if he was a girl!

BeezusQuimby · 27/11/2014 23:06

And certainly not ubiquitous when I was born ( overused now though)

BeezusQuimby · 27/11/2014 23:04

Isabella is a fabulous name ( says an Isabella)

It's okay Blueteas I did ask for honesty so I appreciate that that is what I got! I'd just rather ask here as when you ask in RL most say its nice or lovely etc. so they don't offend. I'd just hate to give our baby a name everyone is secretly thinking is awful!

Sophronia · 27/11/2014 22:50

I like Isabella but not the other two.

Blueteas · 27/11/2014 22:48

Sorry, OP if that sounded horrendously rude. Isabella is so ubiquitous, and I grew up with a very common name and hated always being one of four or five in a class. And my vision of Sadie comes from the dislikeable mother of a friend, so that the name literally automatically conjures up nicotine-yellow fingertips - but you may not mind a very popular name, and are unlikely to know my unpleasant, mean-minded Sadie.

Honestly, Vivi, I'm only exaggerating slightly! All baby boys in this vicinity appear to be called George, Harry or Louie/Louis/Lewis, and all girls are Isabel, Isabella, Isobel, Isabelle, Izzy, Izzy-Mae, Belle, Bella etc etc.

ViviPru · 27/11/2014 22:23

Blue actual snigger @ 'girl' Grin

MadameJosephine · 27/11/2014 22:22

I love Sadie and Amber but dont like Isabella, its is a bit too overused at the moment too
