Sadie?

[User1704]

I posted a couple weeks ago asking for help with old lady names. My little girl made an early appearance and still has no name. I think Sadie is my favourite but still not 100%

What do people think of Sadie? After honest opinions either way. Just want to know what people think of the name.

I can tell my mam doesn’t like it but is being polite and keeping her mouth shut. In laws don’t like it and keep sending different names.
I know it doesn’t matter what other people think I’m just not confident myself

Love it. Congratulations. My gran was a Sarah known as Sadie. I love an old woman name myself!

I’ve got one. It always gets positive reactions. It’s the Hebrew version of Sarah. Underused so there aren’t loads about but not outlandish or “made-up” sounding.

I really like it

I love it, it’s my name 😁. It’s the Irish form of Sarah ‘princess’. It’s really underused I’ve only met one other Sadie in my life.
Congratulations on your new baby girl @User1704 💐

I love it! Sounds warm and friendly, yet also elegant and classy!!

Lovely

I thought it was the Scottish version of “sarah” and it was an name in scotland until it fell out of favour.

I love it. It’s pretty. And I know a lovely little Sadie

@User1704 you say mam, are you from north east England? Just asking because I am and there used to be an ad that ran there for ‘Sadie the bra lady’ that’s what the name reminds me of and may do other northerners. It’s a lovely name but you may get someone mention the bra lady

Congratulations OP, it's a beautiful name 😊 xx

I'm not keen on it though I see it as perfectly usable. Just seems rather dull and insubstantial to me. Without the sweetness of some names of this style such as Maisie and Maggie which I do like. No rational way to explain I guess other than it just doesn't appeal.

Yes I’m from the north east and Sadie the bra lady was my in-laws reaction! Haha

Thankyou everyone I’m surprised it’s had such a positive reaction

Congratulations. I love Sadie,it's lovely. X

Really like it!

Love it.

It's lovely. I wouldn't say it's an old lady name, though. Maybe middle aged? People in their 40s and 50s are more likely to be Sadie than those in their 70s and 80s, I think.

But a little baby Sadie would be perfect.

Love it

I love it OP.

It has always been a very horsey name for me . In lots of childrens' books, I have found the horserider is often named Sadie. But, obviously this isn't a reason not to use the name...your DD may in fact love horses, or actually may not.

Love it! Congratulations

I like it

Congratulations! Sadie is a fabulous, sassy name and isn't overused so is a brilliant choice.

I really love it.

Congratulations

well i dont care for it.
it just looks sad to me, and sounds rather hard.
i dont agree that its a middle-aged name, i've never come across one under 74.

I know 3 people called Sadie and love it. Congratulations x

@User1704 we live in the NE and have a 17yr old Sadie - never had the bra lady reference made to her. it is a very cool name but I'm biased! Congratulations!
