WDYT of Zadie? It came to mind because it was the name of a chair at World Market, haha. But I like it; I think it has much more spunk than Sadie. I'd almost prefer it as a nickname but I'm not sure for what. Suggestions?

Ambrose, Alfred, Dexter, Dorian, Elias, Felix, Florian, Isaac, Lewis, Maximilian, Niall, Oscar, Rocco, Roman, Sylvain
Alice, Athena, Beatrix, Clementine, Daphne, Eliza, Francine, Iris, January, Margaux, Norma, Octavia, Susanna, Sylvia, Viola

It sounds like whoever uses it is trying too hard. "Sadie? Nah, we're way too edgy for that!"

I makes me think of Zadie Smith.

I guess if Sadie is a nn for Sarah/Sara, Zadie could be a nn for Zara.

I really like it. I agree it has a bit more to it than Sadie. I imagine alot of people would think they misheard Sadie or it's a misspelling though

Azalea nn Zadie seems nice, kind of old school derivation. Shahrazad or Alexandra might work too.

I don't find it spunky, it just sounds off to me, but I can dig it as a nickname.

I really like the sound of it too. I actually knew a girl called Zadie. Her parents thought she was a boy and planned to use the name Zaiden. When she popped out a girl they just changed it to Zaidena (zay-DEE-na)...not sure about spelling.

Honestly it sounds like the name of a witch.
