Sadie and Rose - DH thinks it has to be Sadie and Rosie?

Who is right!? We have a daughter named Sadie and DD2 is due any day. We love Rose. We also like Rosie but think better as a nickname. DH thinks it has to be Rosie though as we have a Sadie. I'm right, aren't I!?

You're right - it doesn't "have" to be anything! Rose and Sadie go together perfectly. No need to call her Rosie if you prefer Rose and want that, no rule about names "matching".

MollyHuaCha · 25/05/2017 17:20

I prefer Rose. She then has the choice of using Rose or nn of Rosie.

Meeep · 25/05/2017 17:21

I don't like Sadie and Rosie! Too matchy!
Sadie and Rose is lovely.

I couldn't disagree more with him. Sadie and Rosie together sound really twee (sorry). Sadie is not really a twee sounding name but paired with Rosie is goes that way. Sadie and Rose sounds so elegant and sophisticated and brings out the beauty in each name.

Sadie & Rose.

Heratnumber7 · 25/05/2017 17:26

I know a Polly and Rosy sisters. Too matchy.

Loopytiles · 25/05/2017 17:27

Rose is miles better. Matchy names would sound sillyx

BendydickCuminsnatch · 25/05/2017 17:37

Much prefer Rose. Utterly disagree with your DH Grin

BackforGood · 25/05/2017 17:51

Agree that 'matchy' names sound silly.

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 25/05/2017 17:57

Matchy names would be twee, especially both with ie endings. Sadie & Rose is much better.

auntym · 25/05/2017 17:57

Rose is much nicer and goes better with Sadie.

Mummamayhem · 25/05/2017 17:58

Name envy! Sadie is beautiful and I have a Rose. Definitely not Rosie.

AppalazianWalzing · 25/05/2017 18:04

Have you ever watched Big Business? Eighties Gil with Bette Middler and Lily Tonkin playing two sets of twins switched at birth both called Rose and Sadie.

So, clearly Rose and Sadie work together!

AppalazianWalzing · 25/05/2017 18:04

(Film, not Gil)

NeverTwerkNaked · 25/05/2017 18:05

Sadie and Rose definitely best.

ThreeForAPound · 25/05/2017 18:08

Sadie and Rose i= lovely and classy, and Rose can be nicknamed Rosie anyways, so its win-win.

Sophronia · 25/05/2017 18:34

Rose goes better with Sadie.

LorLorr2 · 25/05/2017 18:36

Lol, Sadie and Rose are completely fine together! Even nicer than Sadie and Rosie imo. Best of luck x

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 25/05/2017 18:47

Sadie and Rose

Love Sadie!

harderandharder2breathe · 25/05/2017 19:18

Call her Rose. You can always call her Rosie as a nn

harderandharder2breathe · 25/05/2017 19:18

Oh and Sadie is a lovely underused name! I've only ever met one child called Sadie who would be about 14 now and she was absolutely lovely.

NotSureYet · 25/05/2017 19:37

Sadie and Rose sound lovely together. And like other pp have said, you can always use Rosie as a nick name.
We have Sadie and Saige, however Sadie gets called Lulu most of the time (Sadie turned into Sadie Loo which turned in to Lulu). And Sadie has nicknamed Saige Boogey (pronounced Boo Gee) no idea why. So Sadie and Saige have become Lulu and Boogey.

Ikeameatballs · 25/05/2017 19:39

Just to add to the mix I prefer Sadie and Rosa.

I think Sadie and Rose is nicer than Sadie and Rosie though.

MargotMoon · 25/05/2017 19:43

Rose and Sadie is PERFECT!! Have you not seen Big Business?? (The second greatest 80s comedy of all time, starring Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler playing two sets of twins mixed up at birth!)
