After going back and forth with my husband, I’m convinced I will regret not using the name [name]Sadie[/name]. I love it, it’s not too popular but not to uncommon, it’s cute, sounds good with our last name and seems to go well with our daughter’s name (see sig). Only 2 problems:
1.) My husband likes it but isn’t as crazy about it as I am. He would prefer to stay away from another “ie” ending or nickname sounding name. He would like to go with a name ending in “a” or “ah”. Such as [name]Hannah[/name] or [name]Lyla[/name]. He doesn’t like [name]Willa[/name], [name]Clara[/name] or [name]Cora[/name] unfortunately. I would be ok with using [name]Sadie[/name] as a middle name if we found the perfect first name. [name]Hannah[/name] just seems too boring and [name]Lyla[/name] is ok but not sure it goes well with [name]Mattie[/name]. Thoughts and suggestions needed for first name with middle name being [name]Sadie[/name]. First name doesn’t necessarily have to end in “a” or “ah” if you have a really fantastic suggestion.
2.) If we use [name]Sadie[/name] as the first, we need a middle that sounds gr eat with it. We love the flow and feel of our first daughter’s name and only realized it was an alliteration after naming her, so that’s not important this time around. What would you suggest as a middle with [name]Sadie[/name] as the first name? Husband said no to [name]Grace[/name], [name]Vivian[/name] and [name]Pearl[/name].
I tend to lean towards “old lady names” and my husband tends to lean towards nature names, his favorite name is [name]Willow[/name] but I don’t think [name]Willow[/name] goes well with [name]Mattie[/name]. I’m not afraid of popular names because my name ([name]Callie[/name]) was not at all popular when I was growing up and I hated how everyone confused it with the popular [name]Kelly[/name]'s, [name]Kaylee[/name]'s and [name]Kylie[/name]'s.
I think [name]Sadie[/name] and [name]Mattie[/name] would make a very cute sibset.
1.) Other names I like with [name]Mattie[/name] would be: [name]Nina[/name], [name]Ella[/name], [name]Jenna[/name], or maybe [name]Sara[/name]?
2.) Middle names for [name]Sadie[/name] could be: [name]Louise[/name], [name]Nora[/name], [name]Reese[/name], or [name]Jane[/name]. Good luck! =]
Names that I like that end in an “ah” sound: [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Cassia[/name], [name]Helena[/name], [name]Elena[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Nora[/name], [name]Gabriella[/name].
Other names: [name]Mireille[/name], [name]Maxime[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Violet[/name].
[name]Sadie[/name] & [name]Mattie[/name] are darling together! [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Willow[/name] sounds lovely to me if that would win him over…
[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Sky[/name] (too matchy with [name]Mattie[/name] [name]Mae[/name]? Yeah another allit., but I do love the flow of [name]Mattie[/name] [name]Mae[/name]…)
[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Sage[/name] (ditto)
[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Belle[/name]
[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Bea[/name]
Would you go for using [name]Sadie[/name] as a nickname?
[name]Sedona[/name]
[name]Sarah[/name] (duh)
[name]Sandra[/name]
I love [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Maude[/name], it’s one of my top choices. [name]Maddie[/name] and [name]Sadie[/name] sounds sweet together. As for ‘a’ names, I love [name]Flora[/name] and [name]Fiona[/name]
I hate to say it, but I sort of agree with your husband that [name]Sadie[/name] and [name]Mattie[/name] would be a little too matchy matchy. I do love the name [name]Sadie[/name] and know a little 1-year-old [name]Sadie[/name] who is absolutely adorable, but for me, personally, I wouldn’t want to use another “ie” ending name. You could go with [name]Sarah[/name] and call her [name]Sadie[/name] of course, so you could sort of both get your way. However, I just think [name]Hannah[/name] and [name]Mattie[/name] sound so wonderful together. [name]Hannah[/name] is a name I have grown increasingly attached to over the past 5 years or so and I just love it now. I don’t think it’s boring at all, and it really just seems to go so well with [name]Mattie[/name] that I can’t get over it. [name]Just[/name] my opinion. [name]Hope[/name] it helps!
I think you should name her [name]Sarah[/name] and call her [name]Sadie[/name]. [name]Lyla[/name] [name]Sadie[/name] is pretty, and [name]Mattie[/name] and [name]Lyla[/name] is an adorable sibset.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I would love to hear more first name suggestions with [name]Sadie[/name] as a middle name. We seem to be having a lot of trouble with that. We’ve considered [name]Lyla[/name], [name]Hannah[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Annabel[/name] and [name]Amelia[/name] as first names with [name]Sadie[/name] as a middle. Thoughts on these and suggestions are welcome!
