Thalia
Oh I love Thalia!!!!
I had friends who were identical twins called Silvie and Sadie. Awesome name.
Thay-lee-uh is cool, but according to my name book, it almost rhymes with failure. Am I overthinking it?
Don't you dare!
Only because it is pretty much a definite here :lol: It was DH's nan's name and I love it.
Sadie or Thalia? Both are awesome :D. No one seems to care about the song.:
I know a couple of Tahlias, not sure about Sadie though - I'd constantly get that song stuck in my head!
I had a dream I had a baby girl the other night and I called her Tilly. I really like it!
Yes, it makes me think of the song.
I actually read Thalia as Tahlia, which I'm not a fan of but really like the pronunciation of Thalia and don't think it rhyming with failure is a problem.
I don't like anything and I love Sadie :D
I've never heard of a song with Sadie in it and I'm not a massive fan of your other names so it's a winner for me
Sadie, the cleaning lady, with just a scrubbing brush and pail of water, scrubs her fingers to the bone......something, something - it was Johnny Farnhams first hit long time ago.:
I love Sadie. I think as time goes on, less and less people will even know of the connection to the song. Neighbours of ours had boy/girl twins last year and named the little girl Sadie and it's just beautiful. It's a shame it wasn't used more I think.
I love the name a friends DD is Sadie. When she first told me her name I did think of the song but was just a short term thing in my head! Its a gorgeous name!
I think Sadie is lovely but I prefer Azariah
Sadie!
Sorry, I responded way fast because I was too flipped out about you name-stealing! ;)
Pretty sure we're going with Sadie. Just need to settle on a middle name.
I actually love Eila. I know a little Eila, I love her name, and I think it sounds awesome with your DD's name.
Sadie Elsbeth!:
Sadie is actually short for Sarah. According to my 88yo grandma. And she should know ;)
I'm sure there's room in the world for 2 more Sadies :p
I like it too
sorry but how do you pronounce Eila? I like the look of it but just cant get it in my head :shakehead:
Same as Isla... eye-luh.
Thankyou for clearing that up, it make so much sense now lol. I Love it!!
Love love love Sadie!
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.
Actually my favourite from your list is Zahara!
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 like your list :)
I went to primary school with a Sadie - no one ever mentioned the song then :)
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....
i like the spelling Isla better so voted Eila
