Hi guys, I've narrowed down my baby girl's name but can't decide which name I love more !! So I thought I'd ask for your guys feedback, do you guys prefer the name Lily or Sadie?

Sadie, Lily far too popular

ApplesAreTheBaneOfMyLife · 23/09/2021 16:57

Sadie - love it!

Sadie

Kneller92 · 22/09/2021 15:11

Sadie. It was on my shortlist, it's a really pretty name.

Balonzette · 22/09/2021 13:26

Love Sadie!

Lily a little overdone and dull.

ElvisPresleyHadABaby · 21/09/2021 21:41

Lily is very popular and has lost a bit of its beauty, very wet, drippy name IMO

BumbledBee · 21/09/2021 20:15

Sadie

Both good.

Sadie is more to my taste. Lily is a bit sweet and feminine and I like a bit of grit for girls.

I love both! I feel as if there are more Lilys around though...

@Ellieboolou33

Sadie, but only because I'd rather any other name than Lily, loads of Lilly's and to me it's a dull, wet sounding name
Exactly this

Lily

Freya2456 · 20/09/2021 09:27

I really love Sadie. It’s beautiful. Lily is also beautiful, however it’s so common so that’s what puts me off lily as opposed to Sadie

manhattenrain · 17/09/2021 20:49

Sadie! Lily is nice but way over done.

MazzleDazzle · 17/09/2021 17:50

Sadie!

Lily is a bit of a not event.

UsernameIsHarderThanBabyName · 17/09/2021 17:44

Definitely Sadie

Quercus3 · 13/09/2021 09:48

Lily

elfran · 13/09/2021 08:52

I think Sadie is sweet and vintage and find Lily overused and frankly quite dull.

Forgothowmuchlhatehomeschoolin · 13/09/2021 08:49

I only know one Sadie but about ten Lilies so Sadie would be my choice

Re: Sadie - Have a look at the lyrics of, or listen to, the old song
'I Love Mary' by Paddy Roberts.
Hmm

I can still remember this from my childhood.

TrampolineForMrKite · 13/09/2021 08:09

Sadie. It’s cool and a bit quirky but not so unusual as to raise eyebrows and a little girl I know with this name is a firecracker.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 13/09/2021 08:06

@niceupthedanceagain

Sadie. Short for Mercedes😂
Unfortunately people will think she is named after the car,

ironically the car was named after the Mercedes Jellinek, the daughter of Emil Jellinek who worked at Daimler-Benz.
