Ok so I know they don’t have to go and won’t be referred to in conjunction with each other for ever but we are struggling so much with a girls name and I don’t want names that seem polar opposite in taste.

We both have names we loved but the other wasn’t keen so we’re back to the drawing board. We have three name books and looked at every list just can’t find a name and I feel like I’m going name blind now.

DD is P enelop e and I thought of Sadie yesterday should baby be a girl. But does it ‘go’?

Would one feel like they got the cooler / quirkier / classic / better name when they grow up?

I think they sound lovely together

I think Penelope and Sadie sound great together.

I'd say they both have the same "vibe" so even though they're different lengths etc they sound like thry come from the same parwnts iyswim

I would say quite different. Penelope is classical whereas Sadie sounds 20th century to me. I like them both, though, and if you like them you should choose them.

Sadie is a bit harder in sound than Penelope, although Penny and Sadie sound quite good together. Otherwise how about Sophie, Cecilia or Susannah (Susie)?

Penelope and Sadie 'match' imo.
What about
Penelope and Pheobe. I always think these two names sound great togetherGrin

Someone asked about the names Caspar and Thomas for twin boys yesterday. Those to me are too different...

I think they're a little different but they definitely work very well together!
