I am in love with the name [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] and I have been ever since I was in middle school. When I found out I was having a girl I was so happy. I family used to have a dog named [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], but I was never close to her. Is it okay to name my daughter [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]? Are there any other similar names?
I think you can definitely use [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]. BTW, love [name_f]Sadie[/name_f].
I think I probably would still use it, but I never know what to say in answer to this type of question, because I have only had a pet for a very short part of my life, and I’ve never connected well with animals like my siblings do. I never particularly liked the one dog I really remember us having, and while I think I probably liked the other, I don’t really remember her too much. So, socially, I can’t really tell how appropriate it really would be to use a name also used by a family pet?
If you’re really concerned, you could always use [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] or [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], nn [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]? Or maybe [name_f]Sally[/name_f] or [name_f]Sarai[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]? They’re also forms of [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]…
Or maybe an [name_f]Addy[/name_f]/[name_f]Adie[/name_f] name? I love the idea of [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] or [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] nn [name_f]Adie[/name_f] (AY-dee, similar to [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]!)–I don’t know if either of those appeal to you?
Good luck!
I’m in the same boat. My sister also has a dog named [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], and I would never name a person [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] because of it. But my sister’s dog is still alive, so that’s my main reason not to
I would use it if the family wasn’t close and/or the dog wasn’t alive. For instance, if my cousin had a dog [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], I would still use it. If my brother had a dog [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], I would never use it.
Yeah, you should still use it.
I probably would go for it, but it is really up to you! If you wanted, express to your family and see if they find it weird. I’m not saying take their opinions and only go with their thoughts… but for piece of mind. A name that sticks with you so long is so special! [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] is an adorable name anywhos.
