Which name do you prefer? Last name is one syllable.

Adele

Sadie might get pronounced Sad-ie, so it sounds like someone sad.

pastabakeee · 13/06/2021 13:36

Adele

TatianaBis · 13/06/2021 15:03

Don’t like the sadism association with Sadie. Adele is a bit pop star.

Neither would be my choice.

Sadie.

But I like Edel the Irish version, or similar sounding name. Prefer the eh sound before the Dell sound to ah.. seems to work better.

Sadie!

Sadie

Sadie sounds like sadist to me. Adele is better imo. Any other options?

Sadie

I loved the same Sadie and suggested it for DD. DH said it reminded him of 'sadist' and then I couldn't put that out of my head. I do much prefer it over Adele though.

Violetlavenders · 13/06/2021 20:59

Sadie is stop close to Sadist and Sad/Die.

Violetlavenders · 13/06/2021 20:59

Too (not stop) Blush

Sadie. It's a beautiful name.

I'm afraid the truly horrible Adele I went to school with has put me off the name for life.

JemimaTiggywinkle · 14/06/2021 13:13

I love Sadie.
And it doesn’t sound anything like sad/die

TatianaBis · 14/06/2021 13:29

Love Violet.

Violetlavenders · 14/06/2021 13:45

Love Geneviève!

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 14/06/2021 13:56

Genevieve is beautiful.

Jemimapuddleduk · 14/06/2021 20:08

Have you considered Estelle?
Love Genevieve.

Suzi888 · 14/06/2021 20:13

Adele

Chunkymenrock · 14/06/2021 20:15

Sadie.

Sadie
Violet
Not keen on the rest

doorornottodoor · 14/06/2021 20:22

Sadie. Adele is an ugly name IMO. Also I can’t stand her music Grin

doorornottodoor · 14/06/2021 20:24

Elle is nice. Genevieve pretentious! Violet from Charlie & the Chocolate Factory! Sorry 😁

How about Ariadne? Or Cecily or Cecilia?
