Out of the three which would be your pick and why?

I really like all of these!

Sadie feels like a lovely sunshine name to me. 💛

Love Nina or Erin. Sadie sounds like a nn to me (not actually sure if it is!).

Sadie is a diminutive (not a nickname) of Sarah.

Erin

My favourite from your list

I like it. DH ambivalent and prefers Nina. I just think Sadie is uncommon without being too out there.

Erin is very pretty. Don’t like Nina or Sadie

lakeswimmer · 10/06/2023 22:03

I really like all of them but have a slight preference for Nina.

RedRiverSun · 10/06/2023 22:05

The only Sadies I know are Jewish. It's a beautiful name. I'd go for Nina unless you're Jewish.

Sneakyblinders · 10/06/2023 22:14

Nina. Unless there is an Irish connection.

Nina. Unless there is an Irish connection.

There is, albeit tenuously

Nina is lovely but so like Niña, I don't think it is quite strong enough. "Girl"

It is pretty though.

TheMurderousGoose · 10/06/2023 22:50

As an Irish person I find Erin and its rise a bit naff.

I quite like Sadie. Even if she is a chain smoking brawler as described by a pp Grin

Nina is also a good name. It sounds lively and works well internationally.

YukoandHiro · 10/06/2023 22:50

Erin or Nina

RuthW · 10/06/2023 23:13

Sadie. It's nicer my miles

Christmascracker0 · 10/06/2023 23:19

I love the name Erin! Nina is lovely too.

Lostinlifenow · 10/06/2023 23:23

I'm biased as i have a 7 year old Sadie! Still absolutely love the name!🥰 and the meaning, "princess". She's the only one at her primary school called Sadie which I like as it's not a common name.

Aww that’s lovely didn’t know the meaning. You certainly don’t hear many! Xx

They’re all nice names.

I prefer Nina, of the 3. It’s sleek and elegant.

I know a Sadie and she fits the name, she’s vivacious and full of character.

Erin is a sweet name, I can’t imagine anything other than a happy person.

RedRiverSun · 10/06/2023 22:05

The only Sadies I know are Jewish. It's a beautiful name. I'd go for Nina unless you're Jewish.

Whilst I am aware that certain names are sacred within the religion eg Cohen, I don’t believe Sarah or Sadie as one of it’s diminutives are?

Why would someone need to be Jewish to use the name Sadie?

RoseBucket · 10/06/2023 23:48

I’ve not heard the name Sadie before, it sounds cool, in an arty, Indie Rock kind of way.

laalaaleelee · 10/06/2023 23:48

Erin

Wale90 · 11/06/2023 07:22

I love all three @wagasallday , all of them on my girls list along with Zoe and Stella.

As it happens, we're having a boy but your tastes sound incredibly similar.

Does anyone want to share their boy names if they loved these like the OP?

Bagofweasels · 11/06/2023 07:30

I love all 3, that’s not v helpful is it!!
would probably choose Sadie but only because I know one and she’s lovely 😊

mintich · 11/06/2023 07:32

Erin, then Sadie. Not keen on Nina, although that's more to do with people I've known with that name!

Odile13 · 11/06/2023 07:36

I like Erin and Nina. Both simple, pretty names. Erin is my favourite.

For a boy the names we’ve always liked are possibly a bit more traditional. We like George as a first choice, but also Aidan, Tobias, Rory, Alec.
