I really like the name Sadie but my husband says it's a pets name (dog/horse). Do you agree with him?

It looks too sad imo.

I really like the name Sadie. I just think of Sadie Frost, I'd never think of it as a pets name

veeboo · 13/01/2020 17:53

No it's our number 1 girl's name. I love it!

mineallmine · 13/01/2020 17:54

I love it.

PlantPotting · 13/01/2020 17:55

Absolutely love it

theseriousmoonlight · 13/01/2020 17:55

Love it

Showmeyourhero · 13/01/2020 17:56

It's the top of my list but DH says all he can see is the word 'Sad' which makes me doubt it entirely! 😕

DramaAlpaca · 13/01/2020 18:33

I don't think it's a pet's name, but I'm not keen on it. It's just another of those 'ie' names which are so popular these days.

I love it but know an adult Sadie (70's) and she has always hated it!

formerbabe · 13/01/2020 18:36

Love it

percheron67 · 13/01/2020 18:37

I like it. Also like Dinah but I think that is linked to a naughty rugby song!

CallofDoodee · 13/01/2020 18:39

I love it actually.

FrogFairy · 13/01/2020 18:41

I love it, also love other “old lady” names such as Connie, Nancy etc.

Peacefrog23 · 13/01/2020 18:52

I really like sadie. Funny, my husband said exactly the same thing! Its
a dogs name to him so we didnt use it..try talk him around, wish i had! x

myrtleWilson · 13/01/2020 18:55

I have one.. of the child not pet variety. Never had an issue with being called "sad" etc. She genuinely likes her name and it suits her now as older teen as much as young toddler...

sel2223 · 13/01/2020 18:55

@FrogFairy Connie 😍😍😍 I love that!

Spoonsmum · 13/01/2020 18:59

Love it. One of my nurses was a Sadie and she was the loveliest happiest bubbliest person :)

motortroll · 13/01/2020 19:19

Love it! Classic and timeless. It's a family babe in my husbands side so we considered it. I like that it is old but has a modern sound.

Apolloanddaphne · 13/01/2020 19:21

It's my dogs name! I love it but it conjures up a dopey Labrador.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 13/01/2020 19:24

Love it.

Spied · 13/01/2020 19:26

Love it.
I don't associate it with pets.

FenellaVelour · 13/01/2020 19:28

I like it but it always makes me think of “Sexy Sadie” which is a bit 😬

ArtisanPopcorn · 13/01/2020 19:30

Would have been one of my top choices for a girl if we'd decided to have a second!

BabloHoney · 13/01/2020 19:30

Love Sadie. I think it used to be a nickname for Sarah

myrtleWilson · 13/01/2020 19:31

oh I meant to add that to my post @fenellavelour - never had any 'sexy sadie' nicknames either.....
