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?

Not that keen on Sadie but prefer it to Sarah which is dull, dull dull (I am a Sarah btw. Boooooooring).

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 (or Sara)

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.

Sadie sounds like a bitchy spoilt brat. :-)

Reminds me of sadism as well. Sarah's beautiful.
