we encountered a Sadie she must be 14 now, a disturbed child with awful parents totally offputting - older people would quote Miss Sadie Thompson, (Rita Hayworth in the film of the same name) a lady of dubious morals, the association lingers

I like it! Xx

DuchessOfSausage · 19/05/2024 19:13

I like it.

SOxon · 19/05/2024 19:13

also! knew an older Sadie who at her funeral was Sarah?! also Sally is Sarah,
it is the same Hebrew name meaning Princess

Sadies for me are hardbitten sixtysomething chainsmokers who always have used tissues poking out of their cardigan sleeves.

I really like the name Sadie but personally wouldn’t use it because it starts with ‘sad’. Same reason I wouldn’t use Madeleine, because it starts with ‘mad’. I’d never noticed it ends in ‘die’ before so I guess that’s another reason I wouldn’t use Sadie or Maddie!

I used to know a Sadie and thought it was a nice name (30 years ago), now I just think it sounds like a dogs name

Carly944 · 19/05/2024 19:25

Charles manson.

Sadist.

Grazyna80 · 19/05/2024 19:25

Love it , little unusual. For me .

Darkdiamond · 19/05/2024 19:27

Sadie the sadist. No.

urbanbuddha · 19/05/2024 19:38

I like it. Prefer Zadie though.

Moreteaandchocolate · 19/05/2024 19:39

I like it!

MissingMoominMamma · 19/05/2024 19:41

I had a dog named Sadie. She was lovely ☺️

jjpolly90 · 19/05/2024 20:13

I have a Sadie! She's almost 11. Absolutely love her name and you don't hear it very often.

Lovely for a cleaning lady!

What?🤷‍♀️

platypusweek · 19/05/2024 20:17

Love it! One of my favourites. Reminds me of that scene in pretty woman (I think that was it?) about Sadie the name for a married lady

GreenMarigold · 19/05/2024 20:19

I don’t hate it but it sounds a bit American to me. I know one, aged around 10, who is lovely but it’s just not my cup of tea.

biggangster · 19/05/2024 20:20

I just think of Sadie the bra lady, up north we have a local celebrity with a big bra shop.

Rainbowbrite83 · 19/05/2024 20:21

I know a Saydi..like the name spelt this way.

Eggmoobean · 19/05/2024 20:22

Love it

FloofyBear · 19/05/2024 20:22

I love it

DisforDarkChocolate · 19/05/2024 20:23

I like it but where I live loads of people with automatically think 'Sadie the Bra Lady'

KThnxBye · 19/05/2024 20:24

I don’t love nicknames as given names, I’d prefer the full version.

To me it does sound like sadist in my accent. Not too bothered by sad or die. More bothered about there being absolutely no options for shortening or changing it at all, and how popular it is currently.

BobbyBiscuits · 19/05/2024 20:25

I think it's really nice actually. Haven't heard it much lately in small kids so it would be sufficiently unique. It's kind of got a boho, slightly 70s hippy vibes to it. You could imagine the person becoming something creative.

MotherofPearl · 19/05/2024 20:40

@Hermione7

It's a song from the 60s.
