Anna or Sadie

[PopsTots]

Apologies for yet another post, I'm due in two days and baby names are all I can think of right now. The replies iv had so far have been really helpful so thank you.

I already have a son called James
Our surname is Green, the Anne of green gables thing doesn't bother me, I'd never heard of it until a few days ago, and I believe it's not a bad association anyhow.

I love the fact Sadie is a little different, not too popular plus easy to pronounce and spell.

I love how equally classic Anna is to James, I'm yet to meet a little Anna but know many adults Anna's which makes me wonder if Anna and James are a little boring to together, however again I like the fact it's easy to pronounce and spell.

What are your thoughts?

I love James and Anna. Not boring, but simple and classic.

With name questions I always think, which name would I prefer to be called, and here Anna is a clear winner over Sadie.

I love both, I would have called DS Sadie but Anna is classically gorgeous.

Not Sadie .

Definitely not Sadie, it’s a very cold cruel-sounding name - maybe just because it’s so close to sadist. Sorry to any Sadies, just my opinion.

Anna is lovely. I have same reservations as pps re Sadie.

Sadie. Anna is so bla

Anna is so classy. ❤️

Anna

Fits perfectly with James too

Sadie

Anna is nice but v commonly used.

Anna makes me think so someone who is nice, placid and easy going, but a little dull. Sadie's cool and a bit of a rebel. They're very different names.

I love Anna but I don't like it with Green :( The words sort of merge together into one abrupt sound.

One hundred percent, ANNA!

Sadie Anne flows beautifully and would give you the best of both worlds! Congratulations 🎉

You can't go wrong with either of those names OP

Anna Green
Sadie Green

Both beautiful name and go really well with James

Congratulations

Love the name Anna. So pretty. Sadie makes me think of the word sadist.

Anna, it also goes well with James. I do like the name Sadie but it reminds me of a dogs name

Love Sadie. Anna is dull imo

Speaking as a primary school teacher, girls names ending in A or the /a/ sound are ten a penny at the moment. And although Anne of Green Gables is a wonderful character, she's a bit... dated and silly. That being said, the likelihood of any of her peers making the link is slim to none.
I'd go for Sadie personally, just to break up the sea of A names.

Sadie

Sadie is such a lovely name. I don’t think normal people would associate it with sadist!

Sadie. Anna is quite boring, dated and a little bit twee. Sadie and James sounds fab!

If the Anne of Green Gables thing doesn’t bother you, I’d definitely pick Anna over Sadie. It’s lovely with James, too.

I’m wondering if after all your threads, you’ll actually meet her and think “oh, she looks like a Pauline” or something, and put all your options in the bin 😂 - I hope we find out what you choose!

Anna, although I do think it blends in a. little with Green (all those Ns!) I might be tempted in your place with Annabel, Annika, Annalise, etc. with Anna for every day.

Sadie is OK as a pet name for Sarah, but don't love it as a stand-alone.

Anna.

All the Sadies I’ve met (about 5 in total) have been golden retrievers!

Both are nice.

Sadie has the edge for me. It's cool and retro.
