    If you can't get past the song reference you could always try Haidee. It was a favourite had this bubs been a girl. I do like Sadie too though and think the song reference would come up, though prob not as often as you think.

    I did think Sadie for DS if he were a girl - but then realised that Zaidie is just a family mis-spelling of Sadie (name was supposed to be Sadie, only my ancestors couldn't spell). Sadie Zaidie would just sound silly.

    And what's so wrong with the song?

    I am so jealous of your name. It's better than the long-form of candy.

    Only old people will think of the song I like it!

    I think azaria has more connotations to be honest so I wouldn't go there. And I'm not a fan of Thalia at all.

    I think Sadie is much nicer than Azariah. The history of the name Azariah doesn't bring positive thoughts for many Auatralians.

    I love zahra! I hate Thalia cause yes I hear failure when I say it out loud. I don't mind Sadie but yes I totally hear the song. But that's the same as Alice, Alice who the ....... Is Alice.

    I hate naming children

    I really like Sadie but I think it clashes a little with your DD1s name... but I am weird and don't like to have the same "ending" with siblings for some reason! I did also think of the song but not sure that is necessarily bad, associations like that pass quickly as you get to know the person. I really love Azaria but think Eila is my favourite from that list, especially next to your DD1s name

    I love Sadie! DD has a Sadie in her class at kinder and I think it is a really lovely name. In fact, I really want her to become friends with this girl so I have have the name around!

    FWIW, I am very familiar with the song but I have never once had it pop into my head when it comes to using the name. I think the song is old enough for it to not be a problem anymore. Even if kids work it out and as time goes on, there will always be something to tease about when it comes to names, always. Could be worse!

    I really like Sadie!

    Azariah I've already said somewhere else I'm not a fan.

    Zahara is nice but it just scream "Brangelina" to me. And it's too similar for my liking to Zara, which is increasing in popularity in leaps and bounds...

    I love Thalia, I know 2 girls with this name but they both pronounce it tha-lee-a.
    I also love Sadie, my cousin named her little girl that.

    sent from my watzamajig so may not make sense....
