Zadie..

Is Zadie a proper name? When looking it up you seem to get Zadie Smith who apparently changed her name from Sadie. I've always loved Sadie but I quite like Zadie too. Is it in the realms of made up names?

No

I prefer Sadie

Think it means grandad in Yiddish.
So would probably avoid on that basis.

I love Sadie! How about you call her Sadie on bc but have zadie as the nickname

I always think of it as a dog’s name as I’ve known two Alsatians called Sadie.

Zadie is fine. I prefer it to Sadie.

Zadie is nicer than Sadie, I can only ever see the word Sad in Sadie personally.

It’s still easy to say and pronounce so there’s nothing to trip up there either.

Spell not say. Grin

As in white teeth? Didn't know it was made up, I like it.

Strugglingtoquit · 01/02/2020 18:07

I really like Sadie, I’m not sure about Zadie

Love Sadie.

CassandrasCastle · 01/02/2020 18:12

I think Zadie is a great name! (Also - Zadie Smith; amazing woman.) It was on my list but DP wasn't so keen

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 01/02/2020 23:41

It's a made up name..but if you like it 🤷‍♀️

PlantPotting · 01/02/2020 23:42

I think it’s ok. Prefer Sadie though
