[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both of those names are common now and won't seem like baby names when your baby is an adult.

I get it, though, because I wanted to name our daughter Millie and I thought it's a dog name, but couldn't really commit to the full-versions (Mildred, Milicent, Amelia, Camille, Camila......to name a few). I still think it's an adorable nickname though. My name is Lori and it's a nickname, so my husband tried to say it didn't matter.....but [b]Millie alone is a dog name. Sadie and Ruby are not dog names[/b]. Well, I can see them being dog names, but when I meet a child named Sadie I don't expect it to be short for something.[/quote]

?? weird. Out of those 3, I actually think of Millie as less of a dog name than Ruby or Sadie. I actually really like all 3 names (as people names or dog names) but I just don't see how Millie is [i]definitely[/i] a dog name whereas Sadie and Ruby are not.

Millie is literally a dog name since Millie was GHWBush's dog while he was in the White House.

Point stands that all 3 of these are gone as either dog or ppl names. [b]Sadie and ruby are "literally" dog names because they are the names of my neighbors' dogs.

So? My neighbors' dogs' names are Jeb, Sam, Lucy, Henry, and Rascal. Only one of those is a "dog's name." This whole idea is stupid. 
I hear Sadie, Sadie Married Lady! when I hear Sadie, and I love it! There is no rule outside this rarified DCUM culture that you have to have a long form name or run a name choice through some rubric.[/quote]
