Sadie or Naomi?

[HTKB]

So we'd more or less settled on Naomi, after pondering Leah. But although I love Naomi there is something about the mouth feel of the name which I find hard.... I've got to think before I say it, every time. I also find DH and I say it differently very often, we'll switch between Ny-omi, Neigh-omi and even occasionally Neyo-MI.

I keep returning back to Sadie. It was on the long list but we didn't dwell on it but I just keep going back to it. It sounds great with our surname, I think (Friedmann).

Any thoughts?

The other thing is we have very close friends who have a lttle baby named Sylvie. They won't mind at all but do you think Sadie/Sylvie are too similar? I have no doubt we'll be friends for life.

DS is Jonah. Please, any suggestions or views on the above would be appreciated!

Naomi has lots of vowels to navigate and get in the right order and so does your surname. Sadie is lovely.

Like both but Sadie wins for me

thats tough both have really nice 'sounds'. I think Sadie at a push x

Much prefer Naomi. Sadie manages to be twee and harsh.

Naomi, but I'm biased . Of course people will pronounce it wrong sometimes but it's classic and won't 'date' your DD.

Sadie much better than Naomi

I like both but Sadie is more interesting. Plus as you said, everyone pronounces Naomi differently.

I'd go for Leah too (I have one, it's never stopped being a pretty name for me). Sadie, to me, is old-fashioned and Naomi is a bit of a mouthful and doesn't flow well.

Naomi = beautiful. Hate Sadie.

I also hate Sadie - like Leah It's more now - Naomi feels dated not in a good way

Sadie wears a pinny and has a perma fag hanging out of her mouth.

Naomi doesn't.

Sadie is a bit too sexy for me. Naomi is nice
