Sadie?

I posted a couple weeks ago asking for help with old lady names. My little girl made an early appearance and still has no name. I think Sadie is my favourite but still not 100%

What do people think of Sadie? After honest opinions either way. Just want to know what people think of the name.

I can tell my mam doesn’t like it but is being polite and keeping her mouth shut. In laws don’t like it and keep sending different names.
I know it doesn’t matter what other people think I’m just not confident myself

Lovely

Charley50 · 17/04/2020 22:53

I love it! Sounds warm and friendly, yet also elegant and classy!!

ladybird69 · 17/04/2020 22:51

I love it, it’s my name 😁. It’s the Irish form of Sarah ‘princess’. It’s really underused I’ve only met one other Sadie in my life.
Congratulations on your new baby girl @User1704 💐

I really like it

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 17/04/2020 22:48

I’ve got one. It always gets positive reactions. It’s the Hebrew version of Sarah. Underused so there aren’t loads about but not outlandish or “made-up” sounding.

Onewomanbadtan · 17/04/2020 22:47

Love it. Congratulations. My gran was a Sarah known as Sadie. I love an old woman name myself!

It's a sweet name but is she ever goes to Australia people will sing this at her -

clpsmum · 17/04/2020 22:45

Gorgeous name and congratulation

fluffy71 · 17/04/2020 22:43

I love it! It’s a form of Sarah

Whatsyourflava · 17/04/2020 22:39

I ADORE it and would love to use this if I have another daughter , I’d say it’s one of my top favourite names and very underused. Lovely 🥰

But agree with the poster above, you’ll never ever find a name that’s unanimously loved. Older generations in particular sometimes just need to hear a name a few times before they “get” it. Once they’re familiar with the name Sadie I bet they’ll love it.

Love it

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 17/04/2020 22:37

I love it! I taught a Sadie a few years ago and she was lovely too!

Costacoffeeplease · 17/04/2020 22:35

Can’t bear it but because it has connotations for me, and a particularly odious person but I can see why it could be attractive without that connection

Carolwithane · 17/04/2020 22:26

One of my favourite people is actually called Sandra however is universally known as Sadie. She is awesome and very cool Smile

Blueblackrose · 17/04/2020 22:25

Love it - it sounds a friendly name and also classy and suits a little girl and a grown woman.

Moonflower12 · 17/04/2020 22:20

Congratulations 🥳

I love Sadie. It is a lovely name.

Insideout99 · 17/04/2020 22:18

MegUffin · 17/04/2020 22:16

Love that you call it an " old lady name"

Brilliant! 😆

WomanIsTaken · 17/04/2020 22:16

Gorgeous!

TKAAHUARTG · 17/04/2020 22:16

I love Sadie, my grandmother’s name. Just the right balance of old lady and cool.

MegUffin · 17/04/2020 22:15

Possibly outing but I'm a Sadie!

Dimosaur · 17/04/2020 22:12

Yep I like it. Different. Not overly used.
