Hi, we are expecting a yellow baby on 4th May - we are happy with our boy choice - Harry Carter but would like advice on Sydney Coco if it's a girl.

Cheers!

No to Sydney in afraid. There was a gorgeous little girl at my ds's nursery called Coco Bella I like that Grin

Sydney makes me think of a little old man tending an allotment. I know it's a different spelling, but it sounds "manly" to my old-fashioned ears. Coco is a bit C-List Sleb/try-hard.

Harry's ok, although I personally prefer going down the Henry (nn Harry) route. Carter...it's ok. Bit American, but no-one will be scratching their hair with their eyebrows on hearing it.

Harry is lovely, Coco is a bit pretentious and Carter and Sydney are bloody awful. Are you American? They do sound as though you are.

Love Sydney it was on my list, less keen on Coco but cute as a middle name - go for it, it is nice to stand out from the crowd and Sydney is a cool name for a girl.....

Coco is nice IMO, having a comeback, but with Sydney sounds chavtastic.

RickGhastley · 27/04/2012 22:37

I really really dislike the name Sydney for a girl. I do like "different" names but that one just sounds chav-tastic (I'll get flamed for saying that)

Coco is a clown.

Harry is nice!

Why is it going to be yellow? Have you been eating too many lemon drops?

Neither Sydney or Coco good, sorry. Harry fine, Carter dreadful.

Whitershadeofpale · 27/04/2012 22:36

I don't hate Sydney but tbh with the Coco it sounds like a porn star name.

mumofjust1 · 27/04/2012 22:35

Love Harry Grin

Not sure about Carter

mumofjust1 · 27/04/2012 22:34

Sorry, don't like Sydney or Coco. Put together even worse.

Hope that doesn't sound harsh, it's just my personal opinion but then I am very boring and like traditional names Smile

No.

Sydney is awful.

Coco is awful.

Harry is lovely.
