Patience or Sallie

[ObedientServent]

Or maybe Trixie? DH prefers Trixie. But I can’t get Sallie out of my head!

Sally

My dog is Trixi, please don't

Sallie is cute, and a new take on the more traditional spelling of Sally

Definitely not Patience

Patience & Sallie are very different names.

I don't much like either, but they are both better than the hideous Trixie.

Sorry but I think they're all bad names if I'm being honest, I think Sally is the best of the bunch but only spelt with a y not an ie, and even then it's very middle aged sounding to me.

Trixie is very dog like and I dont think a grown woman called trixie could be taken seriously.

Patience is pretty awful too, definitely sounds like a very religious name!

Sorry reading that back I know I sound horrible!

I love Sally (with a Y).

Was just recently reading an old children's book called 'Blueberries for Sal' and thinking what a lovely name...

Sorry, I don't like any either. Do you have any more on your list?

Sallie is lovely

Sally is old fashioned but I like it
Patience is awful especially as kids are anything but

If you like Trixie then the name Beatrix is lovely

Sallie is gorgeous. Haven’t heard it for years and it’s so pretty

Sally is a lovely name.

But as someone whose name is always spelled incorrectly by others, I beg you to spell it in the usual way. Your child will spend their life correcting people if you don’t and it’s hugely irritating!

Sally spelled this way.

I think Sallie is very dated and don't like either of the other two options.

Love Patience (maybe a little bit biased haha). Mine affectionately goes by Paeshie but is also often Pae. We've had nothing but compliments other than the midwife who visited after we left hospital who was a tad rude.

Sally is ok, a bit dated to me but I could see it working.

17caterpillars, I recently came across a gorgeous children's book called 'Lost in the Library: a Story of Patience and Fortitude' - if you're looking for ideas for gifts for someone special aged up to about 5.

Sallie

Thank you that looks a lovely book and it is her 3rd birthday soon :)

Names for Labradors

Spell Sally properly and it's fine.

I always use Salli as an example of a name like mine. My dm spelt it Salli instead of Sally or Sallie and it's awful to constantly correct everyone. And they still get it wrong.

Virtue names are a bit of a leap in the dark. I knew a Verity as a child, and I like the name but Verity herself was a right little fibber.

I think Patience is an overrated virtue, too, all martyr-ish and meek.

Of the ones available I like Amity, Clemency, Liberty, Joy and Felicity.

Not keen on Trixie. Sally is nice.
