  Is Sadie short for another name?

  28-05-09, 22:23 I know that Sadie is a name in its own right, one of my OH's granddaughters is called Sadie. But in Scotland did they use is as a nick for another name? It always reminds me of Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands by Bob Dylan. Tags: None

  #7 28-05-09, 23:05 Sorry - I meant also to say that this was in Scotland in about 1928.

  #8 28-05-09, 23:39 Of course OH's lot have to be different. The Sadie in his tree baptised 1879 is Mercedes. Now how did they name their daughter after a car in 1879?????????????????? lol It was her second name as well. Her first was Mally and she went by Sadie.
