Hi guys, I've narrowed down my baby girl's name but can't decide which name I love more !! So I thought I'd ask for your guys feedback, do you guys prefer the name Lily or Sadie?

Lily!

DramaAlpaca · 11/09/2021 22:46

Lily, by a long way. Simple and pretty.

Wineandroses3 · 11/09/2021 22:48

Lily , Sadie has got “Sad” in it , I much prefer Lily

KingofQueens · 11/09/2021 22:48

Sadie.

Sadie. It's my favorite girls name ever.

Lily

Awh either would be lovely. I’d chose lily but Sadie is lovely too and less common I feel

danascully96 · 11/09/2021 23:03

Lily! Sadie doesn't sound as elegant to me, but it does have a sweet feistiness to it that is endearing. Still, Sadie seems less refined compared to Lily.

SquigglePigs · 11/09/2021 23:06

Definitely Lily. Sadie is a bit 80's.

seaandsandcastles · 11/09/2021 23:07

Lily. Sadie is a very ugly and clunky name.

marmaladehound · 11/09/2021 23:09

Lily for sure.

yikesanotherbooboo · 11/09/2021 23:09

Sadie

35andThriving · 11/09/2021 23:10

Lily

All I can see Sadie as is a name with the words Sad and die in it.

ZittiEBuoni · 11/09/2021 23:11

Lily was my favourite 20 years ago but now I'd say Sadie - sooo many Lilies among my (teen) dc contemporaries.

RuthW · 11/09/2021 23:20

Sadie my a mile. There are hundreds of Lilys

YouWereGr8InLittleMenstruators · 11/09/2021 23:25

Easily Sadie. Classy, quirky and has a lovely sound. Lily is also pretty but there are a great many of them.

DariaMorgendorffer · 11/09/2021 23:31

Sadie. I do like Lily too. But I love Sadie.

ofwarren · 11/09/2021 23:36

Sadie.

Ellieboolou33 · 11/09/2021 23:37

Sadie, but only because I'd rather any other name than Lily, loads of Lilly's and to me it's a dull, wet sounding name

Narcos · 11/09/2021 23:45

I had Sadie as #1 choice if it was a girl and when she was born she didn't look like a Sadie! Love the name though, much prefer it to Lily
