A bit too nicknamey for me but nice enough and becoming more widely used. Think it's not far out of the top 100 currently.

I've taught two but both are older now (about 12 and 9).

I don't like it, but can't explain why - sorry not helpful!

BadgeronaMoped · 19/05/2024 18:43

I knew a Sadie and she was lovely! I think it's a nice name.

Fontainebleau007 · 19/05/2024 18:44

Definitely haven't heard that name for awhile.

I think it's a nice name.

I always think of a mean girl when I think of the name Sadie. Cool, popular but mean.

Goddessonahighway · 19/05/2024 18:45

I like it! Don't know any.

Nc4ThisObvi · 19/05/2024 18:46

The song Sexy Sadie comes to mind immediately.

ru53 · 19/05/2024 18:47

I love it

BoudiccaOfSuburbia · 19/05/2024 18:49

I love it.

40andlovelife · 19/05/2024 18:52

Lovely name

35andThriving · 19/05/2024 18:53

The fact that it has the words "Sad" and "die* in it puts me off. Such a negative name.

I think the same but I think it’s because the only Sadie I’ve known (in my year at secondary school) was very much like this.

Ereyraa · 19/05/2024 18:55

Lots in different groups of friends have used it

I’m just not a fan. I’ve never warmed to it on any of the kids who are named it either, like you usually end up doing.

It’s really harsh sounding to me.

pastaandpesto · 19/05/2024 18:56

I really like it. I associate it with Sadie Frost.

It would never occur to me to made the "sad" and "die" connection - I actually think it is a really cheerful, positive sounding name, perhaps because it reminds me a bit of the word sunny?

FFS. That's just ridiculous, on one of these threads somebody said they didn't like Violet as it sounded like vile. I assume you don't live in Wales? I quite like Sadie.

CoffeeAndPeanuts · 19/05/2024 18:57

Lovely for a cleaning lady!

alexdgr8 · 19/05/2024 18:57

don't like it. at all.
sounds/looks like sad.
not a good association of ideas.

PregnantAndStruggling33 · 19/05/2024 18:58

Nice!

Apollo365 · 19/05/2024 18:58

I like it

It doesn't sound like sad.

ApolloandDaphne · 19/05/2024 19:01

It's the name of my dog.

BCBird · 19/05/2024 19:03

It's a no from.me

SplitFountainPen · 19/05/2024 19:04

I don't like it, too similar to sadist/sadistic

scrivette · 19/05/2024 19:04

It's a nice name, there have been a couple in my DC's Primary School. In the many years I have known Sadie I havent ever noticed until now that it ends in 'die'!

Ukholidaysaregreat · 19/05/2024 19:05

Lovely name. Proper name but not too popular.
