Alice or Sadie?

I am 38 weeks pregnant and we still haven't decided upon a name. I think we are down to either Alice or Sadie. Siblings are Ellie and Laura. What are your thoughts? New suggestions welcome.

I love both! They have quite different vibes though.

With your other daughters’ names I’d go for Sadie.

BananaSpanner · 14/07/2022 23:03

Sadie. Both are pretty but lots of Alices about.

EnSextant · 14/07/2022 23:03

Alice is lovely.

DoNutSweatTheSmallStuff · 14/07/2022 23:04

Sadie

007DoubleOSeven · 14/07/2022 23:04

Sadie!

I've only ever met one Sadie, it's a lovely name.

SallyWD · 14/07/2022 23:04

I like both both find Sadie a bit more interesting.

Sadie

Pkwio · 14/07/2022 23:08

Sadie is my all time favourite girls name.

Enko · 15/07/2022 08:46

Sadie by far. Its beautiful not overused and everyone knows the name

Alice is just plain and boring,

RenegadeMatron · 15/07/2022 08:46

Both really nice!

I would probably lean towards Sadie.

ComDummings · 15/07/2022 08:47

Alice

Luredbyapomegranate · 15/07/2022 10:19

Sadie

ChagSameachDoreen · 15/07/2022 17:39

Alice.

Sadie sound like sadist, and puts me in mind of a blowsy East End prostitute from period drama.

GreenManalishi · 15/07/2022 17:43

Sadie, definitely. Love it

StinkyKid · 15/07/2022 17:46

One of them is my name, one I have an irrational dislike of, so I won’t say anything on either name, but suggested Stella as a possibility.

Classica · 15/07/2022 20:26

I prefer Sadie.

Alice is okay but a bit drippy.

katielou987 · 16/07/2022 01:40

Alice definitely x

Merryclaire · 16/07/2022 08:39

Sadie is a great name.

MassiveSalad22 · 16/07/2022 08:46

Sadie definitely

KatRee · 16/07/2022 08:49

I really like Sadie, it's one of those names that classic and modern all at once.

piglet81 · 16/07/2022 09:00

I’m not keen on Sadie but I love Alice!

I wouldn’t choose two names ending in ‘ie’ and one not - Laura might feel like the odd one out.

Ravenclawdropout · 16/07/2022 09:09

Alice doesn't appeal to me.

Sadie works well with your other dds names.

Alternatives might be

Zoe
Mamie
Jacqueline
Joan (ie) / Joni
Saskia
Jamie
Zadie
Mitzi
Lorelei
Fern
Poppy
Daisy
Georgia
Jane
Ruth
Romilly
Piper
