Have you heard of this name? (it’s pronounced Sid-oh-nee).

When I was at school I knew three girls called Sidonie, so to me it always seemed a very normal name like Sophie or Emily.

I did grow up in an area with a sizeable Jewish minority and these girls were all Jewish (I think), but having googled it I don’t think it’s an exclusively Jewish name. It seems to have French/Latin roots.

Dh says he likes it but has never heard of it before, and wonders whether it’s a little too unusual.

So - has anyone else heard of it? Would you use it?

It's a French name. I think it's lovely and would definitely use it.

Another French name I like is Solenne (Soh-len).
