Current Name Infatuation.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Name of the week for my 14 week old fetus is Sadie. Problem is, I don't think it pairs well with the middle name our first daughter is destined to have- Lillian. Help?

Lillian is in honor of my husband's late aunt. We are willing to consider using variations on that sort of name, though. What do you think? Does Lily, Liliana, or something else sound better next to Sadie?

Is there some sort of other first name we could use, with Sadie as a reasonable nickname? I know Sadie is linked with Sarah- but I can't stand the name Sarah. Anything else?

And, generally, what do you think of the name Sadie? Our last name ends in the assy sound, lol.

Thank you!

I really like Sadie. The only reason I rejected it for use on a future daughter is the fact that we are Jewish and Sadie sounds too close to Zaidy (grampa) for my ears "Sadie, give Zaidy a hug" see?

But other than that it's a gorgeous name. Personally I don't think Sadie Lily is a good combo, I like Sadie Lillian(a) better

I LOVE Sadie and I think Sadie Lillian sounds wonderful!

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I can understand your choice, there! :)

If you don't mind, do you prefer Sadie Lillian or Sadie Liliana?

Thanks! :)

I would never consider Sadie myself (sounds a bit too "cutesy" for my ears), but I don't mind the name.

And there is nothing wrong with Sadie Lillian. Is there any particular reason you don't like the combo? It seems just fine to me.

Could Sadie be a nn for something longer maybe?

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I just wasn't sure that it flowed well, I guess.

Glad you approve, though- thanks! :)

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

I was wondering the same thing, myself. Do you have any suggestions?

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

I don't think that Sadie Lillian goes good, but I do think that sounds better than Lily or Liliana. Sadie is very "nickname" to me though I'm having a hard time comming up with anything other than Sarah that you could use it as a nick name for.

Congrats on the baby btw - I'm due the day after you (accoding to your icon). :)

Thank you- congratulations to you, as well! :)

> what do you think of the name Sadie?

I don't care for Sadie because I can't get past its visual and aural resemblance to the word SADIST. Sorry, I hope this isn't hurtful...

Sadie can be short for Mercedes or Sadrienne or Sadriel.

Sadrienne and Sadriel sound funny with Lillian, though.

[ky-whitney.livejournal.com]

Sadie reminds me of my boyfriend's old dog.

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

Mercedes or Sarah are the only two I can think of. I really do think it's fine on its own though. I know two grown up Sadies, one is lawyer, and both of them do fine with their name.

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

I like Sadie Liliana best.

[sorqaqtani.livejournal.com]

And Sadriel is some sort of demon or something.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Sadie Lillian

[sundayuniverse.livejournal.com]

sadie lilian flows perfectly fine in my opinion and its a cute name

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I hadn't thought about Mercedes- that would be a good one, I just don't care for the name much.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thank you. At first, my husband said the name reminded him of Satan. That was a bit of shocker for me but I guess I can understand why. Now, though, he says he's over that association.

You do bring up a very good point. The name also, visually, is reminiscent of being sad. Ehh.. :(

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

How would one pronounce Sadrienne and Sadriel?

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

I think Sadie Lillian sounds great! And it's an adorable name.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Mercedes? Samantha? I think Sadie Lillian sounds fine, though.

Im not fond of the name but when i was saying it outloud, i got an ick taste in my mouth going sadie assy. I dont like the phonetics of the two together. I have this huge thing with first and last names sounding good together, a middle name can be anything, but the first and last have to sound right together in my opinion.
