Try this link:http://www.geocities.com/edgarbook/names/other/nicknames.htmlIt describes how nicknames came about and specifically addresses how Sally and Sadie are derived from Sarah. I find this sort of thing fascinating. Hope you do too.

I suspect it was simply easier to pronounce than Sarie - or, as Dickens spells it, Sairie. Try it, several times!
