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?

Both are lovely but I'd use Sadie because there are so many Lilys knocking about.

LizzieAnt · 11/09/2021 23:48

Lily, but that's mainly because I don't like Sadie at all.

faithfulbird20 · 11/09/2021 23:49

Both beautiful. Sadie has something specially about it.

LaLaLouella · 11/09/2021 23:51

Lily

Mainly because I know a lovely dog named Sadie...

DoodleBelle · 11/09/2021 23:59

Lily is far more elegant. Sadie sounds more of a dog name to me.

Lily has been done to death. Sadie is beautiful and not as common.

Sadie . Lily is overused

caringcarer · 12/09/2021 01:25

Lily is a lovely me. My neighbours dog used to be called Sadie and I have never met a human.called Sadie so I somehow don't think of it as a possible human name now but more a dog name.

Lily.
I actually like lily and Sadie sounds pretty awful to me.

Joolsin · 12/09/2021 04:52

Sadie. Love it

TonkinLenkicks · 12/09/2021 05:02

Lily. But the only Sadie I know is a cow bagGrin

SaltySheepdog · 12/09/2021 05:14

Lily

SaltySheepdog · 12/09/2021 05:17

Sophie or Sydney

Lily. It’s very popular but there’s a reason for that, it’s an elegant, versatile and pretty name. Sadie is ok, I personally find it ugly but it isn’t offensive/doesn’t have any bad connotations.

NatKat2 · 12/09/2021 05:48

Both beautiful but think Sadie tops it. There are 4 Lily's in my child's class at school. They get Lily A, Lily C etc. If has just become too popular! X

Sadie. Short for Mercedes😂

SaltySheepdog · 12/09/2021 06:21

Mercedes is beautiful

Joystir59 · 12/09/2021 06:42

Lily

MadeOfStarStuff · 12/09/2021 13:42

Definitely Sadie

wetpebbles · 12/09/2021 13:47

Sadie

Derrymum123 · 12/09/2021 13:53

Lily.

user1493494961 · 12/09/2021 14:47

Lily.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 12/09/2021 15:21

Lily - pretty and very popular but still feels quite classic so would be my choice. Sadie is a nn that is becoming trendy again - but it's likely decades ago most Sadie's would have really been Sarah on the BC.

ShouldersBackChestOutChinUp · 12/09/2021 15:22

Sadie.

It's sassy. It's fun. It's cute.

Lily is a bit drippy for my taste.

LaBellina · 12/09/2021 15:23

Lily is beautiful and classic.
