Zara is beautiful

Nap1983 · 30/11/2024 18:16

All lovely, for me
1, Zara
2, Sadie
3, Lily
Lily only third as i feel a bit too popular

Comedycook · 30/11/2024 18:16

Sadie is my favourite

Zara is a close second...great name

Definitely not keen on Lilly...too popular imo

lemonyellows · 30/11/2024 18:16

Zara. Although I like Sadie a lot

Lilly is a little overused

XmasNameChangeFail · 30/11/2024 18:16

Zara

Scutterbug · 30/11/2024 18:17

Lilly but spelled Lily.

Rosybud88 · 30/11/2024 18:18

Lilly.

I once worked with a lady called Sadie and she said she hated her name because it had the words sad and die in it, and I haven’t been able to forget this.

MumonabikeE5 · 30/11/2024 18:29

Not Lilly

Pottedpalm · 30/11/2024 18:29

Lilly

Moreteaandchocolate · 30/11/2024 18:49
  1. Lily (Spelt this way)
  2. Sadie
  3. Zara (nice but gets misheard as Sara)
cariadlet · 30/11/2024 18:59

Lily with one L - I like traditional spellings for names.

Normallynumb · 30/11/2024 19:04

Sadie. Closely followed by Zara

mathanxiety · 30/11/2024 19:05

Sadie
Zara

Lilly

ThistleTits · 30/11/2024 19:09

1, Sadie, 2, Lilly, 3, Sara.
Sadie is short for Sarah, perhaps that but call her Sadie.

Lilly.

I’ll never look at the name Sadie in the same way again.

LadyGabriella · 30/11/2024 19:15

Lily but I prefer it with 1 L.

LadyGabriella · 30/11/2024 19:15

Berlinlover · 30/11/2024 19:11

I’ll never look at the name Sadie in the same way again.

Me neither 😱

TheaBrandt · 30/11/2024 19:16

Too many Lily’s over use has dulled its charm

BeyondMyWits · 30/11/2024 19:20

I have a lovely niece called Sadie. I remember thinking what a beautiful name my sister chose. Really suits her.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 30/11/2024 19:23

I like them all, but 'Lily', not 'Lilly'.

shoopshoopdedoo · 30/11/2024 19:35

Zara
Lily

Less keen on Sadie

BoleynMemories13 · 30/11/2024 19:46

Any reason for the Lilly spelling? She'll spend her life having people spell it Lily. I'd always opt for the usual spelling. I do like Lily, despite the national popularity. It's not actually that popular around me anyway.

Sadie is sweet sounding but, as another poster pointed out, it's quite unfortunate visually.

Zara is ok but I've always found it to he a bit harsh sounding. I much prefer Lara, which kind of combines Lily and Zara!

Out of those 3, I would choose Lily (this spelling).

BodyOdour · 30/11/2024 20:43

Lily - pretty, Lilly - 'Lilly with a double L'
Zara - OK
Sadie OK

I'd pick Sadie as it's more unusual

starlight94 · 30/11/2024 21:08

Zara is a lovely name

Marcipex · 30/11/2024 21:12

Lillian, then Lilly/Lillie makes sense.

Zara is lovely too.

I like the sound of Sadie, but it does say Sad.
