Sadie or Sarah?

[Pluto30]

Just that really.

I know Sadie is traditionally a shortening of Sarah, but think it's considered more of a standalone name now (I don't know any Sarahs who get called Sadie...)

Which do you prefer?

Sarah

My grandmother was Sadie and my best friend Sarah. Love both names!

Sarah.

I like Sadie...I am actually a Sarah who wouldn't mind being called sadie

Much prefer Sara.
Sarah is blah, even now.
Sadie is a cat's name, to me, sorry.

Sadie. It's cute and pretty. Sarah is a bit bland and dull.

Sarah is one of the most dull names I have ever heard.

Love Sadie. Or Stella?

Meaning of Sarah - lady, princess, noblewoman (hebrew origin)....I can cope with that since I'm an early 1970s Sarah! 😀

......dull.... 🙁🙁🙁

miss I've been told, to my face, that I'm the only X name someone has met, who hasn't been a "thick chav". I'd probably prefer people think my name is a little dull.

I think people's opinions on names are so extremely varied, it's only worth taking note if there happens to be a serious leaning for/against a particular name.

Sadie

Sarah is a lovely name and due a revival. I don't know any little Sarahs so it would be unusual!

Much prefer Sara

I like Sara if it's pronounced Car-a. But some people pronounce it the same as Sarah which always confuses me and I can never remember which to call them

Sara prn. Saaah-rah just doesn't sound nice in our accent, and it sounds a bit too 'uppity' to me (it's not, of course, it just gives me the same sort of impression as people pronouncing Sasha saaah-sha).

Stella is lovely, but the L sound clashes horrifically with our surname which starts with L.

Sarah. Hate Sadie as it sounds like sadist.

Sarah. Hate Sadie as it sounds like sadist.

People my age are called Sarah, are married to a Sarah, or have a sister and/or SIL called Sarah so I'd say no to Sarah. Don't like Sadie much.

Sadie. Sarah is cute for a child but doesn't seem to suit any of the older Sarahs that I know. Plus I was bullied by a Sarah at primary school.

Sarah is lovely. Sadie to me is an old lady name that hasn't come full circle yet, like Doris
