Opinion on the name sadie

[mummysparkles95]

Ok so i LOVE the name Sadie. But my partners ex is sarah and iv read Sadie is the
Diminutive of sarah.... would this bother you? Or doesnt it matter? Thanks 😊

Makes me think of Funny Girl 🎶 She's a Sadie Sadie, married lady 🎶

My aunt is a Sarah but has always been called Sadie. She is in her late 70s so I think the Sarah/Sadie nn thing is a bit old fashioned and doesn’t really happen anymore. Sadie is definitely a name in its own right.

I don’t really like it but there’s nothing particularly wrong with it as a name and I wouldn’t connect it to Sarah, I didn’t know it was a diminutive.

The four Sadies I know/have known ARE actually all called Sarah. I'm in Scotland so maybe the nn Sadie for Sarah is more popular here.

It was definitely an old fashioned name when I was growing up, but it's become quite quirky and cool.

The youngest of the Sadies I know is around 30. I really like it and have never thought "sadist".

I love it, I have a friend called Sadie and she is a lovely girl that lights up a room! That's her given name rather than Sarah. I met a girl when I was very young who was a Sarah/Sadie but it doesn't seem very common so I would treat it as a different name and ignore the fact OH's ex is Sarah...it's irrelevant x

I know of 2 , one a grown woman and the other a toddler , it's a nice name.

Very nice name.

I really like the name. I've never heard of it being a nn for Sarah so that wouldn't occur to me. I think of it as a name in its own right.

I don’t like it at all. No substantial reason why; I just don’t.

I love Sadie

Unless your partners ex actually uses the diminutive Sadie (and none of the Sarah’s I’ve ever met do) it’s irrelevant

I’ve met 2 Sadies in my life. They were both horses

I love it and no, it wouldn't bother me.

I really loathe the name Sadie. It makes me picture a hard bitten woman with cold reptilian eyes and a cigarette clamped in the corner of her lipless mouth.

Don't know why because I don't think I've ever met a Sadie in real life.

Love the name Sadie

I love the name Sadie.

I think historically or originally it was a nn for Sarah but now it's a name in it's own right.

I really like it and i've never come across it as a diminutive of Sarah, the ones i know are all just Sadie.

To me it is a diminutive of Sarah without knowing someone I would assume their real name was Sarah. However, lots of people now use diminutives as official names.

I love it. It was a close runner for me. Allowed myself to be talked out of it because it wasn't actually 'Sarah'. I love Sadie, don't like Sarah. Go for it.

Like Molly/Polly for Mary or Mae/Daisy for Margaret, I think Sadie (and Sally) sounds different enough from Sarah that many people won't even be aware it's a nn, so that wouldn't bother me personally from that perspective.

I do find Sadie quite trendy however (a la Nancy, Edie, Marnie etc - the "old" nicknames are having a resurgence as given names) so I'm not very keen on it myself.

It's lovely and it's widely used in my family as a nickname for Sarah but I don't think many people really know about it is as a nickname for Sarah or would even make a connection.

I love it. It's cool, feminine and strong. It also good for a kid or an adult.

The link to Sarah is too tenuous.

I dislike the name, don’t know why exactly but just don’t like the sound.

I love the name Sadie but went off it as there's a lingerie shop near me with the slogan 'Sadie, Sadie, the bra lady'

Never ever linked it to the name Sarah
