Sarah, Sadie or Bella?

Our DD is less than a week old and we chose a name for her, but aren't loving it. We had Sadie on our short list when I was pregnant, but have chosen Samuel for a boy name if we're ever to have one, and I find having two with the same initial a bit bleh.

We both love Bella (hate the longer versions like Isabella), but know it's considered rather trendy at the moment. We both love Sarah too, but the S thing applies again.

Middle name is Chenault, so the options are:
Sarah Chenault
Sadie Chenault
Bella Chenault

Also, I know Sadie can be a NN for Sarah but not sure how naturally that will come to people of DD's generation.

Any similar suggestions are welcome too.

Thanks. Smile

Sarah. It's beautiful and classy and more or less unheard of now.
Sadies and Bellas are in abundance. There'll probably be 5 in each class.

Bella, it's quite popular for a shortening of Isabella but not on its own. It's a beautiful name op and congratulations on your little one! XFlowers

Congratulations!

Sarah, and even if in future you have a boy and still like samuel it's fine to have the same initial!
