Stories about the name Sadie

My grandmother's nickname — her given name was Sarah but she'd been Sadie her whole life. We made Sadie the legal name for my daughter. Grandma cried. It was the reaction we wanted.

— Hannah, Nashville TN, 2019

Sadie sounds like a personality, not just a name. There's a quality to it — warm, slightly mischievous, good company. My daughter is seven and all three of those things.

— James, Austin TX, 2017
