We love this name if we have a DD. Well known but certainly not overused. I have been stopped in my tracks as on another thread people are saying they think of bad connotations as it has the words ‘sad’ and ‘die’ in it. Really? There are lots of names that are similar. Think Jodie, Elodie etc.
It got me thinking about other names that might also be seen badly by some, Thea sounds like fear. Violet - violent. Claudia - the name means lame. Richard - rich / hard if you break it down into two words but it’s not really something I would ever think to do. They’re all nice enough names that I wouldn’t think twice about it if I heard, including Sadie, but am I in the minority?
I don’t know if other people thinking that means it’s a poor choice, and would hate to lumber negative meanings onto a child. Does it really matter if you like a name?
