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?

Would always make me think of 'Sadie, The Cleaning Lady' but if you're not Australian probably not an issue.

Sadie is a dog's name for me, sorry! Lily all the way.

Lily is too 2000s to me. Became mega popular. Sadie unusual and very nice name.

FatAnkles · 13/09/2021 07:48

Too many Lily's around. Sadie!

Sadie! I love it!
I like Lily too but it’s so common at the moment, I know tons of baby Lily’s!

LaBellina · 12/09/2021 15:23

Lily is beautiful and classic.

ShouldersBackChestOutChinUp · 12/09/2021 15:22

Sadie.

It's sassy. It's fun. It's cute.

Lily is a bit drippy for my taste.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 12/09/2021 15:21

Lily - pretty and very popular but still feels quite classic so would be my choice. Sadie is a nn that is becoming trendy again - but it's likely decades ago most Sadie's would have really been Sarah on the BC.

Lily.

Derrymum123 · 12/09/2021 13:53

MadeOfStarStuff · 12/09/2021 13:42

Definitely Sadie

Joystir59 · 12/09/2021 06:42

Lily

Mercedes is beautiful

niceupthedanceagain · 12/09/2021 06:16

Sadie. Short for Mercedes😂

NatKat2 · 12/09/2021 05:48

Both beautiful but think Sadie tops it. There are 4 Lily's in my child's class at school. They get Lily A, Lily C etc. If has just become too popular! X

Kanaloa · 12/09/2021 05:20

Lily. It’s very popular but there’s a reason for that, it’s an elegant, versatile and pretty name. Sadie is ok, I personally find it ugly but it isn’t offensive/doesn’t have any bad connotations.

SaltySheepdog · 12/09/2021 05:17

Sophie or Sydney

SaltySheepdog · 12/09/2021 05:14

Lily

TonkinLenkicks · 12/09/2021 05:02

Lily. But the only Sadie I know is a cow bagGrin

Joolsin · 12/09/2021 04:52

Sadie. Love it

longerevenings · 12/09/2021 01:27

Lily.
I actually like lily and Sadie sounds pretty awful to me.
