Sadie

I think this sounds like a name for a horse and not a real person.

Cute. Only Sadie I can think of is the seeing-eye pup Karen Brewer raised in a Baby-Sitter's Little Sister book. =] That was the first place I ever heard it.

It's a really sweet and elegant name that just rolls off the tongue easily. The only things I can't get over is it being a popular dog name, and it looking like sad-die. Otherwise, it reminds me of a sweet and charming girl. Much love to my Sadies out there!

Sounds like a pet name.

I looooove how Sadie sounds. So sweet, simple and cute. I can’t unsee the word “sad” and “die” so I’d probably try an alternative spelling but even the spelling doesn’t make me dislike it. It’s still cute and has a charm to it.

It only works for a dog in my opinion.

I think Sadie is a cute, sweet and charming name. Its simplicity is beautiful.

I love this name, the sound, and how it flows. But I can't get over sad-die.

Sadie is such a sweet and elegant name.

I have always been fond of this name. It reminds me of someone who is bubbly and outgoing, like the Sadie I knew.

I see this on a dog way more then a human but I do think it's fairly cute!

Such a cute and perky name! I can see this on any age.

Super cute name on a kitty friend!

This is my name and everyone compliments me on it! I think it's a super cute name!

I think it’s a cute name.

This name spelling cures Sadness and Depression...
Sad? Die.
(It was a joke, don’t take it seriously)

Sadie, Manson's nickname for Susan Atkins. Also a Beatles song: Sexy Sadie, whoa-what have you done. Or something like that.

I prefer it spelt with a double d, SadDie.

My real name is SADIE. I have hated my name since I was 3 years old; I am now 41. I was constantly teased in school because it is a dog's name. I never liked the sound of it, as I was also called, "Satan or Say-Die." Terrible name. Horrible, just embarrassing. I go by "Sadia." I will legally change my name soon. I would also change my name tags on my desks at school. Please don't name your children a dog name. Thank you!

Please please please don’t do this to a poor little girl! I would absolutely hate being stuck with name!

Sadie is a rare name for America for some reason.

It's an elegant, beautiful name. Sadie sounds smart. It also says kind. It can serve as a nickname for Sarah. Honestly, I think Sadie could be a very good name. I'll stop typing, because if I keep typing about how beautiful this name is this would be more like a chapter book than a comment.

It is very funny, my real life name is Sadie, but it is spelt Saydeigh! It is the rarest spelling of Sadie in the world, I have searched my spelling, and nothing ever shows up! I love my name, the kids in my class used to never know how to pronounce my name! Maybe you could add my name?

My name is Sadie and I love the fact it is so uncommon where I live! I have never met another Sadie however lots of people struggle with the pronunciation and spelling. A lot of people relate this name to things like sad-die and Sadie the cleaning lady but I honestly just love it and think it is a beautiful name.

So cute! A nice variant of Sarah. What about Zadie?

I love this name and it’s very cute, but I can’t get over the grim spelling of Sadie. “Sad-Die”.

In my opinion, it looks good both as a nickname and a full name.

Almost every Sadie I've met is beautiful, talented, kind, and envy-worthy. I really wish I liked this name because of the people I've met, but I don't! As wonderful as the people I've met with it are, I WANT to like it; my mind just doesn't listen. I love the meaning and the people I've met with it.

My friend's name. I think it is a cute name.

This is my sister's name, and I find it to be a very fun name. It reminds me of someone extroverted and bubbly and full of energy like my sister. I can see it on both a young girl and a teenager or woman. I like this name a lot!

Can’t get past sad and die.

The name “Sadie” immediately reminds me of Sadie Kane from Kane Chronicles. She is strong, independent, brave and has a. Good sense of humor. I think Sadie is a wonderful name, much prettier than Sarah, and it works equally well for pets AND humans.

Sad and Die, don’t understand why people like it.

Humble, sweet name. I view it as a 90's name, it's like a cute throwback and not too common nowadays. So I think it would be a great choice for a daughter.

Beautiful!

I have had 2 puppies with this adorable name, I heard it first in FUNNY GIRL... Sadie. Sadie, married lady. Married to a dentist, yet (with a mouth full of braces...) If I hadn't already named my girl, this would have been first or second choice & Emily close behind.

Sadie is a beautiful name.

I HATE the sound of this name! I've met several Sadies in my time and liked most of them, but I really hate the name itself. I can't stand the sound of it!

I have a dog named Sadie. Sadie is where dog meets fur. She is a good puppy girl.

Hey, my name is SADIE MARIAH S____! My opinion is that this is a great name to have! And the other reason besides it being pretty is because it's also one of the top 10 female dog names! I'm a dog lover!

My name is Sadie, and personally, I think that people get an impression of the name by what it reminds us of. For some, it may be a dog or a dance, but if you met someone named Sadie that you liked, you would have a totally new opinion.

Reminds me of Sadie the bra lady haha... This name isn't great because it is made up of the words sad and die. So all I see is sadness, death and bras. But that's just my opinion, no offense to anyone.

First and foremost I'm reminded of the Beatles' song, "Sexy Sadie." It's a good song, but any Beatles fan like myself would be unable to resist singing it to the girl from time to time. Other than that, it's a cute, albeit plain name. It doesn't sound particularly beautiful or mature, but it's not a curse of a name unless Sadie comes across a hardcore Beatles fan, ha ha.

I know of a little girl whose name is Sadie. Beautiful! I didn't like it at first, but it's growing on me!

I much prefer the variant Zadie over Sadie. With Zadie, you get the charm of Sadie without the unfortunate connotations of sadism, sadness, or Sadie Hawkins.

This name is not that overused. This is my cousins name and I also like it for a first name. I don't know any pets named Sadie!

I REALLY dislike this name. It is too popular in the USA for starters. Also it spells sad die and sounds like Sadist. CHOOSE SOMETHING ELSE PEOPLE!

I think this is a charmingly cute and pretty name. :)

Had no idea that was originally a diminutive of Sarah. I always liked the name Sadie, and for me it produces an impression of having a hint of shrewdness.

I'm not a big fan of this name. It reminds me of a fat, emotional cartoon character from Total Drama Island.

I think its very pretty, it makes me think of the color grey, not that dark depressing grey, a light grey that also reminds me of morning.
I also see Sadie as the perfect name for a very smart bookworm girl who is very nice and talkative.
If I have a daughter I will name her Sadie, and NO I do NOT agree that it sounds old or whatever. I honestly don't see why people think that.
This is my favorite girl name, I really really like this name.

I have a dear aunt whose name this was, but she spelled her name SADYE. (She later changed her name.) I love this name and the way my aunt spelled it. To me, Sadye looks more versatile and majestic written than Sadie.
I also have a gorgeous, regal calico cat named Sadye but of course, it's after my aunt, not because of I think of it as a pet/animal name. I call my cat Sade a lot.

I agree, it's quite a popular dog name. But, seeing as a lot of stereotypically 'dog names' like Bella, Max, and Bailey have gotten so popular, I have a feeling Sadie will be in the top 100 in a few years. I prefer it used as a nickname for Sarah.

This is a very popular dog name.

My real and true name is sarah, but everyone calls me Sadie. Whenever my friends ask me how Sadie sounds like Sarah I tell them to look it up!

LOVE! But only for a nickname. I think of names ending in "ie" as nicknames.

I find this a truly awful name. I am not happy about it, because I usually try to find the best in every name. There is usually something positive one can say about a name. But I really, really don't like this one. It reminds me of the word sadist. It reminds me of the awkward tradition of Sadie Hawkins, the yucky old time dances where girls asked boys to dance (not that it's necessarily yucky for a girl to ask a boy to dance. But those dances were definitely default and awkward.) Why not Sari? Or Sallie? Or Sandie?
Please forgive me. I am sure I could learn to like the name. (One usually can.) It's just that, out of character for me, I find this one really bad. My apologies.

I think this is such a cute name! Very pretty when pronounced "Say-dee". I once met a Sadie whose name is pronounced "Shah-day," which I think Shade or Sade would be better spelled.

When I think of this name I think of a girl with short, black hair who's shy but later breaks out of her shell and makes friends.

Sadie is my second favorite girl's name! I think it's cute, pretty, elegant, and whimsical. I think it will age just fine, but if you really like this name and are worried about it not aging well, you could always name her Sarah/Sara and call her Sadie as a nickname! (:

My daughters name is Sadie (Sarah). It took us six weeks to name her! She has 3 older siblings who helped with her naming... so... lots of nicknames. My favorite... Sadie. We think Sadie is a great name. No regrets! Have fun. :)

Sadie is the most beautiful name ever! I am going to name my maybe future daughter this! :)

Sadie the Sadist.

I don't like it much, I think it sounds stupid and childish. Also, why name a girl something that could so easily be misread as "sadist"?

Because of "Sadie the Cleaning Lady" I can't think of this as anything other than the name of a middle-aged working-class woman.

It also has the word "sad" in it, which just doesn't seem positive. No idea why people like this name, frankly.

I'm surprised that people find this quite modern. I went on a board where someone wanted to name their daughter Sadie, and everyone else said it was for an old Jewish lady! Then I burst out laughing.

Ugh, I don't like this name. It looks like sad.

I am the complete opposite of everyone who thinks Sadie isn't mature enough for older women. My aunt is called Sadie and I could never name a daughter Sadie for this reason. My aunt's lovely, but Sadie just sounds too old fashioned. It may be modern in America, but in Northern Ireland it's been around for over 60 years.

Much less common than Sally, which is the other nickname for Sarah.

My name is SadeeAnn. I love my name! I am the only SadeeAnn I know =). Thanx mom! I live in a pretty big town & the only Sadies I know, one goes to my high school, & the other works at the ER. I know no Sadees either!

My girlfriend's name is Sadie. The moment I heard her name I fell in love with it. It's really attractive.

I find this name totally charming yet slightly quirky and not overused. Sade would be a nice nickname too. I don't know that I could name my daughter this and I've never met a Sadie but if I came accross someone with this name I would think it was quite cool.

It reminds me of a dog simply because my friend's grandparents old dog had this name. It isn't really a bad name at all, but I wouldn't name my child this.

My mother's name is Sadie, so it gives me a lovely feeling of home when I hear it. She's always said with pride that it means "princess" because it's a derivative of Sarah, and I like the fact that her name makes her feel special.

This is my name and I like it. The only thing that is bad about the name is that a lot of people call me Sadie Bob and getting called Bob is not a good thing to me. It makes me feel like a child because not many people would think of Sadie as an adult.

Our daughter's name is Sadie. This name has such a strong sense of familiarity. It's adorable, yet old-fasioned.

It would be a pretty name if it didn't remind me so much of the word SADIST.

Sadie makes me think of a blowsy, middle-aged barmaid. Although I read in one book that it's gaining popularity with the British gentry, to me it seems hopelessly low-class. I think that people are getting so anxious to find something new in given names that they will turn to absolutely anything!

I think it's a nice, unique name.

I think Sadie is a beautiful name. It is gentle, yet strong. Someday I would like to name my daughter Sadie.

One word: SADIST.

I like this name. To me, it sounds like it should belong to someone shy and compassionate.

This name rocks! I named my little hamster Sadie. Seems like a name for someone who is blonde.

I like the name Sadie. It's very pretty in my opinion. ;)

My name is Sadie and I'm proud of it! ^_^ yay!

This name is pretty cute! If your name is Sadie, you should love it!

CALL your daughter this, but DON'T name her this. It doesn't sound very mature when she gets older.

This reminds me of a dog's name! (I also know a dog with this name!)

That is my name - SADIE ELIZABETH! I love my name! I have only met one or two other Sadies my age (23). Fair warning to parents - every Sadie I know is very smart, spunky, independent, very sexual, attention loving, stubborn, egotistical, and beautiful. Can you handle it?

I adore this name! To me, Sadie seems like she would be the perfect person: lively, smart, fun, pretty, talkative, and anyone would feel comfortable around her. I am naming my daughter Sadie Elisabeth if I have a girl.

Sadie is a pretty name for a girl, not overly used. It is increasing in popularity right now.

Although I like the name Sadie, I have known 3 cats and 3 dogs with this name, so it doesn't seem much like a human name to me anymore!

I think Sadie is a beautiful name, it reminds me of the color grey.

I used to call my sister Sadie Grace because she acts like a princess and she's clumsy sometimes. I used Sadie because it's a pet form of Sarah. Sarah means princess. And I used Grace as in graceful. But her real name is Hali.
