That's it really. The name is Sadie. I think it's gorgeous, he thinks it's truly awful. We clearly won't be using it now but would love to hear your thoughts, surely I can't be the only one who loves it!

I love it.
Used to babysit for a Sadie, her siblings were Liberty and Elspeth if that's any help. Gorgeous family!

Not keen. It makes me think of the world "sadist".

It's one of those retro names like Mabel or Fred that I just don't really like.

I'm with your DH on this one. Isn't it short for Sarah? Lots of old ladies called Sadie where I live!

Its a lovely name, but yes if your husband really doesn't like it you cant us it.

I like it! It's not my favourite name but I do like it.

It's one of those names that fits a certain generation and will take a while to become current I think.

Sorry, but I agree with your DH. It's not my style at all.

I think it's getting quite popular and I often see it suggested on here, so you're definitely not the only one.

It's a real shame that you don't get to use a name you love though.

I think it's lovely too, but as you say, you obviously can't use a name your husband hates. Maybe you could get a girl cat at some point...?
