I love the name Sadie, it's so sweet and spunky and will also age well. Olive for me just reminds me of the food and I can't get past that!

pretty great! I can see two chubby little babies in smocked dresses!

I think they'd work well together as sister names, but I don't care for Olive to be honest. The sound of it just doesn't do anything for me.Sadie is a cute name.

Sadie is kinda cute. I hate Olive though.

Olive is cute. I don't like Sadie though unless it's a nickname for a longer name like Mercedes.

I love Sadie, especially as a nickname for Isadora. I'm neutral on Olive, I want to like it, theoretically, but I can't help that it reminds me of actual olives, which I detest. So for that reason it strikes me as slightly bitter ;)

I love Olive!! I like Sadie too but it seems too childish on its own. I love Mercede/s nn Cede(Sadie) :D

I don't like Sadie. Based on some association I've long forgotten, my image of Sadie is a hardened, shrewd, witty, and streetwise person. As opposed to a refined, educated, gentle, or light-hearted person. Maybe it's the similarity of sound to "sadism"? I'm not sure. Anyway, I think it sounds tough, and the opposite of innocent. Which isn't awful in itself, but I balk at the idea of naming a baby it.Olive is nice. I met a toddler named Olive a few years ago. It seems a little hipsterish, but not in a bad way. I like Olive because of the peace symbolism, and the antique-ness of it makes it seem sweet, but not too sweet because of its modesty especially in contrast to Olivia.

I would never use either of them irl but I do think they're pretty, and seeing them together I think they make a really cute sibset. I've always thought Sadie was pretty but Olive has grown on me recently, after watching Pushing Daisies. I think it's a cute alternative to Olivia.

Sadie - happy-go-lucky, not a care in the world! I love Sadie. I'd use it if my husband wasn't so adamant that it was a dog's name. :o)
Olive - a very nice alternative to the overpopular Olivia. And, frankly, I think a little girl Ollie could ask me for just about anything and get away with it!

I really like Sadie. It has been growing on me a lot lately. I think it's very sweet.Olive is not really my style. I've never been able to see the appeal of Olive or Oliver because they just remind me of the food.

I like Sadie as a nn for Sarah - even though I think it can definitely stand alone, it is a little cutesy for my tastes. My best friend and her fiancee plan on using on their second daughter.I prefer Olive to Olivia and think it is really sweet and quirky but I wouldn't use it myself. It reminds me too much of the food and there are other names I prefer a lot more. I'd like to meet a little Olive though.

I like both a lot. Olive is precious and Sadie feels like a happy name.
