Sadie or Lucy?

[ThatOchreQuoter]

Currently pregnant with baby number 2 and stuck between these two girls names. Our DD has a name that goes well with either. Thanks for any opinions ☺️

Don’t like Sadie. Lucy is nicer.

Lucy is a beautiful name!

Love Sadie!

I like Lucy, but love Sadie - so that would be my choice :)

Lucy

I like both but they don't have the same vibe.
Lucy is a classic, but Sadie is a diminutive of Sarah.

Well, it’s either Lucy in the sky with diamonds or Sadie, the cleaning lady whose aching knees aren’t getting any younger.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds or sexy Sadie? Martha my dear.

Lucy - one of my favourite names. A pretty classic that still sounds modern.

Sadie.

I’ve always loved Lucy so this would be my favourite of the two. I see it as a name which suits every age from baby to adult, whereas I only envision Sadie as an adult (a middle aged one at that!).

I like Lucy best.

Lucy. I love the connection with light.

Sadie is lovely. Lucy is just ok.

Lucy is lovely - and underused at present.

If you google the Sadie Cleaning Lady video it will put you right off: scantily clad ladies dancing about with maid's bonnets and lyrics such as "Scrub your floors/Do your chores/Dear old Sadie"

It's hard to think of anything more stomach-churningly misogynistic that could be put to such a light-hearted tune and has put me off the name for life.

It somehow manages to belittle both young healthy women (the dancers smiling inanely, like half-dressed 1950's housewives) and older women (her aching knee's not getting any younger/Her red detergent hands/ have for years not held a man's)

I haven't heard of/seen that!

I think of 'in search of little Sadie' by Bob Dylan. But then, I am not sure what that song is about-perhaps it's just as bad.

Lucy

For me, Lucy is just dull as dishwater. Sadie much more interesting, more personality to the name.

Neither had I, but people kept saying "Sadie, cleaning lady" which I thought was just a rhyme but then I heard it was a song and googled it and it is ...um, eye-opening in terms of what was once seen as acceptable! I think its from the 60's

Lucy is lovely!

Lucy is much better.

Sadie always looks sad and dismal to me.
It's not a proper name.

Lucy. I don’t like the name Sadie at all.

Lucy is lovely. And surprisingly uncommon in my area at least. I haven't heard of any recently so not super popular.

Lucy. It's a lovely name.

Sadie, no

Lucy!
