So, DD is due very soon and we cannot decide between these! Her brother is Noah Smile

Sydney is fabulous. I only know one and she's 21.

Sadie is okay, but there are a few names I would pick before that. Also, Sidonie is alright, but I feel like it sounds quite old-fashioned. Whereas Sydney has a really nice edge to it, IMO and it isn't massively common

Sidonie? (sp)

What about Sadie?

I love Sydney and Syd is so cute for short. Was on our shortlist for DD. It probably won't be to everyone's taste but I think it's great, love it.

I do like Gracie and would use that as a NN for Gracelyn - not sure if it's too nicknamey for a FN Hmm

Gracie?

I think Sidney is more of the male version and I guess Gracelyn does sound American, but is that a bad thing? I do like Grace, but we are going for a 1 syllable middle name, so would be nice to have 2 syllables for FN Smile

Sorry, I don't like either. Sydney sounds like a boy's name and Gracelyn sounds very American. What about Grace?
