It's cute, but maybe a little too cute. But I would go with the name Sarah, or maybe even Mercedes, instead. My dog's name is Sadie, she's the best.

I think this sounds like a name for a horse and not a real person.

I know traditionally this was a nickname for Sarah (back in the days where mothers gave their daughters their name and a nickname was needed to differentiate the two) but I read a story recently where Sadie was short for Isadora. Thought I would throw that out there, of course, it is fine as a stand alone name these days as well.

Cute. Only Sadie I can think of is the seeing-eye pup Karen Brewer raised in a Baby-Sitter's Little Sister book. =] That was the first place I ever heard it.

It's a really sweet and elegant name that just rolls off the tongue easily. The only things I can't get over is it being a popular dog name, and it looking like sad-die. Otherwise, it reminds me of a sweet and charming girl. Much love to my Sadies out there!

I looooove how Sadie sounds. So sweet, simple and cute. I can’t unsee the word “sad” and “die” so I’d probably try an alternative spelling but even the spelling doesn’t make me dislike it. It’s still cute and has a charm to it.

My real name is SADIE. I have hated my name since I was 3 years old; I am now 41. I was constantly teased in school because it is a dog's name. I never liked the sound of it, as I was also called, "Satan or Say-Die." Terrible name. Horrible, just embarrassing. I go by "Sadia." I will legally change my name soon. I would also change my name tags on my desks at school. Please don't name your children a dog name. Thank you!

I am not aware that Sadie is an Arabic corruption of Sara because in Arabic, Sara is Sara. However, Sadie may have been the name Saadiyyeh = happy or bringer of happiness. This name would be difficult to teach to a non Arab and one can see it become simply Sadie or something like that. There may be other possibilities as well. I believe it possible that in old English or Gaelic the spelling could be quite different even if the phonetique is almost identic. My Mother and Grandmother were called Sadie.

It's an elegant, beautiful name. Sadie sounds smart. It also says kind. It can serve as a nickname for Sarah. Honestly, I think Sadie could be a very good name. I'll stop typing, because if I keep typing about how beautiful this name is this would be more like a chapter book than a comment.

It is very funny, my real life name is Sadie, but it is spelt Saydeigh! It is the rarest spelling of Sadie in the world, I have searched my spelling, and nothing ever shows up! I love my name, the kids in my class used to never know how to pronounce my name! Maybe you could add my name?

My name is Sadie and I love the fact it is so uncommon where I live! I have never met another Sadie however lots of people struggle with the pronunciation and spelling.

Almost every Sadie I've met is beautiful, talented, kind, and envy-worthy. I really wish I liked this name because of the people I've met, but I don't! As wonderful as the people I've met with it are, I WANT to like it; my mind just doesn't listen. I love the meaning and the people I've met with it.

Humble, sweet name. I view it as a 90's name, it's like a cute throwback and not too common nowadays. So I think it would be a great choice for a daughter.

My name is Sadie, and personally, I think that people get an impression of the name by what it reminds us of. For some, it may be a dog or a dance, but if you met someone named Sadie that you liked, you would have a totally new opinion.

Reminds me of Sadie the bra lady haha... This name isn't great because it is made up of the words sad and die. So all I see is sadness, death and bras. But that's just my opinion, no offense to anyone.

First and foremost I'm reminded of the Beatles' song, "Sexy Sadie." It's a good song, but any Beatles fan like myself would be unable to resist singing it to the girl from time to time. Other than that, it's a cute, albeit plain name. It doesn't sound particularly beautiful or mature, but it's not a curse of a name unless Sadie comes across a hardcore Beatles fan, ha ha.

My little 1-year old granddaughter is named Sarah, and I often call her by the pet name Sadie. To my ear, Sadie is more of a nickname than a given name, although I know it is becoming quite popular as a stand-alone given name. Back 150 years ago, girls had formal names and family "pet" names. A good example is Mary. A Mary was often called Molly by her family and close friends. Margaret was called Peggy. Sarah became Sadie or Sallie to her family. Rosamund became Rosie. Elizabeth became Betsy, Katherine became Katie, and so on. Sadie is a perfectly good name for both a child and an adult -- I simply prefer a more formal name for the given name. It's really just a matter of preference. I have a friend who named her daughter Katie -- just Katie, no other formal name. People are always asking Katie if her real name is Katherine or Kathleen. I would do the same with Sadie -- I'd ask if her real name is Sarah.

I think its very pretty, it makes me think of the color grey, not that dark depressing grey, a light grey that also reminds me of morning.
I also see Sadie as the perfect name for a very smart bookworm girl who is very nice and talkative.
If I have a daughter I will name her Sadie, and NO I do NOT agree that it sounds old or whatever. I honestly don't see why people think that.
This is my favorite girl name, I really really like this name.

I have a dear aunt whose name this was, but she spelled her name SADYE. (She later changed her name.) I love this name and the way my aunt spelled it. To me, Sadye looks more versatile and majestic written than Sadie.
I also have a gorgeous, regal calico cat named Sadye but of course, it's after my aunt, not because of I think of it as a pet/animal name. I call my cat Sade a lot.

I agree, it's quite a popular dog name. But, seeing as a lot of stereotypically 'dog names' like Bella, Max, and Bailey have gotten so popular, I have a feeling Sadie will be in the top 100 in a few years. I prefer it used as a nickname for Sarah.

I find this a truly awful name. I am not happy about it, because I usually try to find the best in every name. There is usually something positive one can say about a name. But I really, really don't like this one. It reminds me of the word sadist. It reminds me of the awkward tradition of Sadie Hawkins, the yucky old time dances where girls asked boys to dance (not that it's necessarily yucky for a girl to ask a boy to dance. But those dances were definitely default and awkward.) Why not Sari? Or Sallie? Or Sandie?
Please forgive me. I am sure I could learn to like the name. (One usually can.) It's just that, out of character for me, I find this one really bad. My apologies.

Sadie is my second favorite girl's name! I think it's cute, pretty, elegant, and whimsical. I think it will age just fine, but if you really like this name and are worried about it not aging well, you could always name her Sarah/Sara and call her Sadie as a nickname! (:

Because of "Sadie the Cleaning Lady" I can't think of this as anything other than the name of a middle-aged working-class woman.
It also has the word "sad" in it, which just doesn't seem positive. No idea why people like this name, frankly.

I am the complete opposite of everyone who thinks Sadie isn't mature enough for older women. My aunt is called Sadie and I could never name a daughter Sadie for this reason.

Sadie makes me think of a blowsy, middle-aged barmaid. Although I read in one book that it's gaining popularity with the British gentry, to me it seems hopelessly low-class. I think that people are getting so anxious to find something new in given names that they will turn to absolutely anything!
