I really like it but think it's the kind of name that depends on your accent. I live in N.I and it would sound a bit harsh in my accent and possibly not that nice but way nicer in an English accent if that makes sense

Sadie was an American girl in St Clare's, so it must have been considered typically American at that time. I know one in her twenties. It's ok, nothing to dislike.

I love it. Would have used it if I'd had another daughter.

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 19/05/2024 21:22

Nice I think she sounds like a nice pretty girls girl

Nice for a German shepherd

RuthW · 19/05/2024 21:49

Nice

saveforthat, what I am saying is true. It does have the words "sad" and "die" in it, and that puts me off. The op was asking for my thoughts. I didn't give my opinion uninvited.

I like it. I had a great aunt Sadie.

JanglingJack · 19/05/2024 22:03

My first thought was that it's very 80s.

Second thought was bitchy, but I went to school with one.

eileandubh · 19/05/2024 22:06

I really like it - I too had a great auntie Sadie, who was named after another older relative herself. It has a pretty, pastel 1930s vibe for me.

coffeewithmilk · 19/05/2024 22:10

Sounds like an old woman's name.. like you can imagine a white haired frail Sadie sitting having her porridge in the nursing home.. that's the vibe it gives me
Sorry but don't like it

Eatyourcrust · 19/05/2024 22:11

I think it sounds really pretty, it has a nice ring to it.
Sadie Green was one of the main characters in the novel Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow, she was an original, creative, nerdy, sweet girl.

This also resonates with the name Killian.. all I can hear is Kill Ian and I can't unhear it

SkaneTos · 19/05/2024 22:13

I love the name Sadie!
I did not know until I read this thread that it is/used to be short for the name Sarah.

I do think a little bit about the song, but that's not a bad thing.

Moonshine5 · 19/05/2024 22:13

Love it

Copperoliverbear · 19/05/2024 22:16

I love you. X

Copperoliverbear · 19/05/2024 22:17

I meant to say I love it sorry 🙈🙈

SkaneTos · 19/05/2024 22:19

@35andThriving
The only other place I have heard the connection between the name "Sadie" and the word "die" is in the tv drama "Grey's Anatomy".

Ketzele · 19/05/2024 22:20

One of my favourites.

ByUmberCrow · 19/05/2024 23:06

It seems to be a popular dog name near me…

AlwaysTheRenegade · 19/05/2024 23:25

I love it, was on my girl list.

MrsBobtonTrent · 20/05/2024 00:02

Sadie the sadist. No no.

MinervaMcGonagallsCat · 20/05/2024 00:03

Retro and interesting

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

Exactly what I was going to put.
