Double Names for Sarah

We have 2 weeks to go and my husband woke up yesterday set on Sarah. It is a family name and I like it but it seems very common to me. I was thinking that maybe I could turn it into a double name to give it more originality. I am the one who likes our family name Noble so I was thinking to name her SARAH NOBLE. I would call her that but I have a feeling most others would just call her Sarah. You guys are great at coming up with combinations so do you have other ideas for a "double name" for Sarah.

Like-
"Sarah Kate"
"Sarah Noble"

Thanks again for all your wonderful ideas and support!!!

I'm a Sarah Marie S.

My mom picked Sarah out of a character in a romance novel she read. Marie is a version of her middle name (Linda Mary) and later I found out it is a family name on my paternal side.

Marie is my middle name, but in elementary school my mom introduced me as Sarah Marie (something she only ever called me when I was in trouble and boy was she bewildered with me that morning, I was sooo afraid of kindergarten!) and it stuck with my teacher, it was always on roll call and we had two other Sarah's in that kindergarten class of 1985, so it just was the way it was. I was Sarah Marie, another was Sarah M. and another was Sarah K.

Nicknames included...
Sally (by my younger brothers) which developed into Sal by my dad.
Sarah Mascara (again by dad)
Sarah Bellum (by my nana banana LOL)

and "Stork" in high school... but that was because I've been 6 feet tall ever since I was 13, and always always doing some sort of childcare (been a nanny for 7+ years!).

By highschool I had always written Sarah S. on my school work, so i became known as Sarah S. (for my last name). In a class of 100, I graduated with a Sarah K., a Sara D. and a Sarah L. (middle names Anne, Lynn, and Mary) and only recently have I met an adult with the conjoined Sarah name of Sarah-Lynne who is the spitting image of Laura Ingles on Little house, only she's 25 :) LOL

I think Sarah Noble is adorable! I think its interesting how Sarah means Princess, so in her case she would be a Noble Princess :) My last name is german and means Proud, so I was/am the proud princess. My biological father's last name (which I found out about as a teen) means "the hill" so I was the proud princess of the hill LOL :)

I think Sarah Kate would be what I would choose for my own name after reading all of the other options for Sarah that have been presented, but I absolutely agree that if a close family friend/relative had a child that was Anna Cate, that I wouldn't want to be the same as my friend... I'd want to be different, but I also prefer old fashioned names... Emily, Olivia, Cora (after my fiances mother), Victor (after my grandfather) etc...

Anyways :) I can't wait to hear what you choose :)
