Sid

Any thoughts as to Sid - I love it, but do not know (or know of) a single one, and worry that it's for a reason

Mind, I dont know anyone with DDs name (M e g) and I didnt worry about that.

Happy to hear any and all opinions!

I teach a Sydney (11yo).

I also know one whose sister is Nancy I kid you not!

I like it tbh but I think it may be a bit unisex?

Davidhasselhoffstoecheese · 20/02/2014 23:39

Super old man chic. Love it

ginzillas · 20/02/2014 21:25

I love it. Also love Stanley nn Stan.

My grandad was Sidney, it's a great name

Glittery7 · 20/02/2014 18:36

I think Sid is an excellent, supercool name. I would have had a Sid if I'd had a son.

Go for it!

I like it a lot, but DH is put off by the fact that Sydney is such a popular girls' name now (and often shortened to Syd), he worries that people would be forever assuming he was a she.

Cool!

RabbitPies · 20/02/2014 10:21

It's awful.

ithoughtofitfirst · 20/02/2014 08:37

Cuuuuute!! I love Sid. I can imagine that suiting a cheeky scamp of a toddler. Love.

I think it's a lovely name, but would use Sidney on BC.

Rooble · 20/02/2014 07:53

I know two, both in reception (different schools, same city). Would Sid be the full name or short for Sidney?

BalloonSlayer · 20/02/2014 07:52

Sid and Meg does make me think of the teleporter poem in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy tho, although I expect you'd have to be a nerd to remember that.

BalloonSlayer · 20/02/2014 07:51

I know one!

I think it's a fab name, but I didn't know him as a baby so I suspect if I would have been at a baby called Sid.

But that's the point - they are not babies for long are they?

RalphRecklessCardew · 20/02/2014 07:42

Agreed.Sidney nn Sid is great.

sebsmummy1 · 19/02/2014 23:08

I like Sidney, but just Sid on it's own is a bit weird.

BirthdayMuppet · 19/02/2014 23:05

Really don't like it, but then I'm not a fan of most 'grandad chic' names as to my ears they're anything but chic. There's a little chap called Jim in the Reception class at my sons' school and I just can't get my head around it.

soaccidentprone · 19/02/2014 23:02

I have an uncle Sid. I've always thought it is a great name.

bouquetofpencils · 19/02/2014 22:42

I know two Sids. One age 7 and one a newborn. Both adorable.

Just Sid.

longtallsally2 · 19/02/2014 22:32

Would it be Sydney with Sid for short, or just Sid. (Applying the High Court Judge rule Sydney works well, as long as you then don't mind folks asking if that is where he was conceived!)

I like it. I like Ice Age too!

ThursdayLast · 19/02/2014 22:31

Love it

lanbro · 19/02/2014 22:29

The lads who work for me call each other Sid when they're taking the piss out of each other, but I must admit I have no idea why!

Mrsindecision · 19/02/2014 22:27

If you love it you should go for it! Don't listen to a load of strangers opinions on the Internet!

Meg and Sid do sound good together I must admit.
