A cute family came into the store I work at the other day. The kids' names:
Sadie (12)
Nellie (6 or 7)
Richie (5 or 6)

I'm not sure if I like them. WDYT?

are those nicknames or just names?

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

Richie was short for Richard. I'm not sure about the others.

[sweet-light.livejournal.com]

I hate the name Richie either way (bad memories), the other two are ooook, but seem like nicknames to me.

Too... peaches-n-cream for me.

Sadie and Nellie are cute as nicknames, don't like them as full names (well, Sadie maybe). Not crazy about Richie at all.

[glassteapot.livejournal.com]

They're kind of sweet names, even if they sound like the kids fell through a time warp from the 50's.
I love Sadie, and Richie is ok but not on anyone older than, say, ten. I prefer Richard, but even then I can take it or leave it.
Oh, and I like Nellie but not on a human, because I have a really dumb labrador by that name...

But hell, I'd rather name my kids Sadie, Nellie and Richie than T'lira and Das'nu'lkiel (prn. Daniel! *eyeroll*) or something.

Hahaha. I was reading Das'nu'lkiel and thought, "someone would probably pronounce it Daniel. It can happen. And at some point it really will."

[glassteapot.livejournal.com]

Perish the thought! I do know a kid called Tlira thogh (no apostrophe, but still appalling) so Das'nu'lkiel can't be far behind... aagh!

I absolutely LOVE Sadie, and I like Nelle, but not Nellie (it just makes me think of Nellie the Elephant). I dislike Richie, BUT I have to say I am so pleased that there are names like these around and that it's not Madison, Makayla and Mackenna or something. It's a whole different level.

The first two are okay but I definitely prefer Rick or Ricky to Richie.

[maniacalapricot.livejournal.com]

Not fond of any of them. Sadie is okay though.

[satanictwin.livejournal.com]

Sadie is sort of Brit chic. I like it.

Richie is very....Happy Days and definitely out of the question. What were they thinking?

Nellie has an old-fashioned sweetheart appeal. I think I like it too.

So basically they failed their son.

I love Sadie, as a nickname or a full name.

Nellie is such a cute nickname, but I still associate it too strongly with Nelly Furtado (ugh, that nasal voice, that stupid bird song) and Nelly the rapper. I wouldn't want anyone shouting, "'EEEEEEEEY, MUST BE THE MONAYYYYYYYYYYY," at my kid. Not that that's likely, it's just the first thing I think of when I hear that name. I'm sure everyone will forget both of these people eventually, and maybe I even will, and will once again appreciate the name properly.

Richie, I hate. Rich, Richard, any variation, yuck.
