Yeah, I also had a great-aunt Sadie, but she was born Sarah in 1912. She was called Sadie until she died in 2009. She was a Canadian Catholic, but usually around here in NY it’s considered an old-fashioned Jewish name. Congrats to Christina! I’ve been a fan of her since Kelly Bundy and saw her twice on Broadway as Sweet Charity. I’m especially glad she was healthy enough to have a kid at her age and after a double mastectomy. ---

As a mother of a Sadie Rose, I say whee to a nifty name. She knows a few other Sadies, but they’re short for Mercedes. ---

It doesn’t matter what your name is, someone somewhere thinks it’s stupid. Are these rich and famous celebs supposed to poll a bunch of mouth breathers for name approval? I know it provides hoi polloi with a chance to feel “superior”, but I’d rather be named Pilot Inspektor and have a huge trust fund than be Michelle or Madyysonn or Mekenzey or Kayla and poor. ---
