Out of the three which would be your pick and why?

DS was going to be Erin if he was a girl, so that's my choice. I really like Sadie as well though.

Willmafrockfit · 11/06/2023 08:12

sexy sadie
i like all 3
but nina the best
followed by sadie

StellaOlivetti · 11/06/2023 08:07

Nina, without a doubt for me. Much nicer than the other two in my opinion.

2Much2Ask · 11/06/2023 08:06

Nina. It's pretty and timeless.

DidyouNO · 11/06/2023 08:04

The part of the UK I live in Erin is very common and I'm not keen at all for that reason. Nina is lovely.

Also like Lucy, but not sure if this one is bland compared to others.

Erin. Pretty name and feels ethereal to me.
Sadie sounds like a proper spiteful madam and Nina is emergency services siren!

Lots have said this about Nina, never even thought. It might not be a good pick then since that is what DH does hahaha

I love all three @wagasallday , all of them on my girls list along with Zoe and Stella.

As it happens, we're having a boy but your tastes sound incredibly similar.

Does anyone want to share their boy names if they loved these like the OP?

For a boy the names we’ve always liked are possibly a bit more traditional. We like George as a first choice, but also Aidan, Tobias, Rory, Alec.

I like Erin and Nina. Both simple, pretty names. Erin is my favourite.

mintich · 11/06/2023 07:32

Erin, then Sadie. Not keen on Nina, although that's more to do with people I've known with that name!

Bagofweasels · 11/06/2023 07:30

I love all 3, that’s not v helpful is it!!
would probably choose Sadie but only because I know one and she’s lovely 😊

Erin

RoseBucket · 10/06/2023 23:48

I’ve not heard the name Sadie before, it sounds cool, in an arty, Indie Rock kind of way.

The only Sadies I know are Jewish. It's a beautiful name. I'd go for Nina unless you're Jewish.

Whilst I am aware that certain names are sacred within the religion eg Cohen, I don’t believe Sarah or Sadie as one of it’s diminutives are?

Why would someone need to be Jewish to use the name Sadie?

SemperIdem · 10/06/2023 23:43

They’re all nice names.

I prefer Nina, of the 3. It’s sleek and elegant.

I know a Sadie and she fits the name, she’s vivacious and full of character.

Erin is a sweet name, I can’t imagine anything other than a happy person.

I'm biased as i have a 7 year old Sadie! Still absolutely love the name!🥰 and the meaning, "princess". She's the only one at her primary school called Sadie which I like as it's not a common name.

Aww that’s lovely didn’t know the meaning. You certainly don’t hear many! Xx

I love the name Erin! Nina is lovely too.

RuthW · 10/06/2023 23:13

Sadie. It's nicer my miles

YukoandHiro · 10/06/2023 22:50

Erin or Nina

TheMurderousGoose · 10/06/2023 22:50

As an Irish person I find Erin and its rise a bit naff.

I quite like Sadie. Even if she is a chain smoking brawler as described by a pp Grin

Nina is also a good name. It sounds lively and works well internationally.

xXiXx · 10/06/2023 22:47

Nina is lovely but so like Niña, I don't think it is quite strong enough. "Girl"

It is pretty though.

Nina. Unless there is an Irish connection.

There is, albeit tenuously
