I like Sadie and Hope. Sadie Hope - lovely combination!

Mae is OK but prefer May spelling. Not keen on Ada, not sure it's due a comeback really.

MelinaM · 20/07/2011 20:12

Like it, also like Hope, and May / Mai but not MaeSmile

PipFEH · 20/07/2011 20:23

I like it but could never have used it as I have a Jude :o nicest on your list imo!

pointydog · 20/07/2011 20:24

I like Sadie.

I like Hope too.

Domesticbodess · 20/07/2011 20:39

Sadie is sweet; it sounds very American. Ada is pretty and underused.

manicinsomniac · 20/07/2011 22:44

I like Sadie, Hope and Mae but not Ada.

threefeethighandrising · 21/07/2011 00:25

Sadie is lovely. It was my grandmother's name :)

Bandwithering · 21/07/2011 09:16

Sadie is lovely but I don't like Ada much. May is ok but a bit bland.

diddl · 21/07/2011 10:27

Sadie is fantastic.

Also like Hope.

pointydog · 21/07/2011 10:33

Sadie sounds very scottish to me.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 21/07/2011 17:43

Lovely, also love Hope. Mae is dullski and Ada lives on Coronation Street and wears a pinny and curlers Wink

birdofthenorth · 22/07/2011 18:03

superjobee · 24/07/2011 17:30

sadie was our choice for this baby but he's a boy :) its such a pretty name.

jomorgan · 24/07/2011 21:14

Love Sadie and Hope! do u like Ava?

Olivetti · 24/07/2011 21:17

I do love Sadie, but (and I'm really sorry to say this) to me it will always be associated with "Sexy Sadie", and some joker would probably sing this.....which obviously is not what you want for your child. I considered it for my DD because it is lovely, and ruled it out for that reason.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 24/07/2011 22:00

What's sexy Sadie? I'm sometimes a Sadie and have never heard of that.

zippy539 · 24/07/2011 22:02

Know a Sadie - lovely name. We're Scottish if that makes any difference - I always think of it as a Scottish name.

EdithWeston · 24/07/2011 22:03

I've never heard of Sexy Sadie either.

I think it's a wonderful name, and to me is associated with Aunt Sadie from the Nancy Mitford books.

diddl · 25/07/2011 08:12

Also never heard of "Sexy Sadie"

chandellina · 25/07/2011 09:02

Sexy Sadie is a song by the Beatles.

I love the name and would definitely put it on my list.

chandellina · 25/07/2011 09:06

here are the lyrics, i think it's very sweet and can think of worse things to be associated with my name

Sexy Sadie what have you done
You made a fool of everyone
You made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie, ooh, what have you done

Sexy Sadie you broke the rules
You laid it down for all to see
You laid it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie, ooh, you broke the rules

One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover
She came along to turn on everyone
Sexy Sadie the greatest of them all

Sexy Sadie how did you know
The world was waiting just for you
The world was waiting just for you
Sexy Sadie, ooh, how did you know

Sexy Sadie you'll get yours yet
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie, ooh, you'll get yours yet

We gave her everything we owned
just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie she's the latest
and the greatest of them all

Ha, She made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie
Ha, However big you think you are

vividgingerchilli · 25/07/2011 09:12

I love it

Olivetti · 25/07/2011 11:17

It is indeed a lovely name, and a great song (can't believe people have never heard of it!)....just sayin' how I felt, because I'd love it for a DD as well.

muminthemiddle · 25/07/2011 11:25

I like Sadie and Ada best. I also don't know of any young Sadies if this helps.
