does it sound like a dog's name???

Dh and I have had a name for both a boy and a girl for a LONG time, but recently, I have come across two DOGS with the name that we had picked for a girl. The name is "Sadie." I love it, but what if it becomes the next "Fifi?" What do you think?

well, put it this way - when I was a little kid (in the late 50s, early 60s) I had three very elderly aunts named Sarah who ALL were nicknamed Sadie
now in this era (from the late 80s to now) the only Sadie's I've ever known were dogs- mostly labs and setters - it seems to be a popular name for labs and setters
there is NO way between those two things that I could even begin to see this name on a little girl
it's soooooo old-sounding to me. and I can't see it on a business card when she's older and possibly in a good career. it's too nick-namey, even in the 20s/30s when it was popular it was more often a nickname for Sarah, which to me is also just too old-fashioned for me to even like, possibly also because of those old aunts of mine
