I think it can work, but why don’t you suggest [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u] nn [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]?

[name_f]Love[/name_f] the suggestion of [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u] nn [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u] nn [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] could work, too. I personally prefer just [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] to [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], and if I used [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] I probably wouldn’t use a nn (although I prefer [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] to [name_f]Sally[/name_f]), but I think [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] and [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] flow better with the surname [name_u]Day[/name_u]. [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u] is adorable, though, and I think if that’s the only name they really loved and nothing came close, they could get away with it. [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]'s lovely.

I think it can work. [name_u]Day[/name_u] would be a challenging surname to work with. I love the name [name_f]Sadie[/name_f].

I don’t think it works that well. In addition to the stuttering you mentioned, I also hear “D-day” when you say it together.

I didn’t vote because I think I’m neutral on this – I don’t love it, but I don’t know that I’d go so far as to say it sounds like a stutter. It’s not truly horrible, really.

I love [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]! I don’t think it’s terrible…but I did see “sad-- day” in the name, in addition to hearing “[name_m]Say[/name_m] d-day.” :confused: if I just met someone with this name, however, I probably wouldn’t even notice.

To me, it sounds like a literary character or a great author’s name. I say go for it. Definitely don’t avoid it if it’s your top name and you really love it.

I don’t think it flows well. It’s not only the strong “d” sounds but the repetitive “ay” sounds as well.
