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.

Sydney is awful.

Coco is awful.

Harry is lovely.

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

mumofjust1 · 27/04/2012 22:35

Love Harry Grin

Not sure about Carter

Whitershadeofpale · 27/04/2012 22:36

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

OhBuggerandArse · 27/04/2012 22:36

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.

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!

FourYolksAche · 27/04/2012 22:39

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

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.....

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.

TheCraicDealer · 27/04/2012 22:44

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.

livealoha · 27/04/2012 22:47

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

NorksAreMessy · 27/04/2012 22:51

Helen is a lovely name

HTH

What's a yellow baby?

Pandygirl · 27/04/2012 22:54

If she's born on the Fourth of May you have to call her Leia.

lisad123 · 27/04/2012 22:54

Sorry heard girls name and thought stripper Blush

meditrina · 27/04/2012 22:55

I think both Sydney and Coco are lovely names. But to me they don't sound right together together.

PiInTheSky · 27/04/2012 22:55

I quite like Sydney but put together with Coco it does sound like a stripper name, sorry. :(

meditrina · 27/04/2012 22:55

Padme?

1950sHousewife · 27/04/2012 22:56

Another vote for stripper.
I actually like Sydney quite a lot, although it is [ducks and waits for flaming as well] a bit chavvy.
Coco I can do without. It sounds like a poodle who performs tricks at a circus.

Have you thought about Anne. It's due a revival... Grin

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 27/04/2012 22:58

Dear GOD! NO! Poor kid!

NettoSuperstar · 27/04/2012 23:00

Terrible.

MinnieBar · 27/04/2012 23:00

Sydney Coco = I should coco

NovackNGood · 27/04/2012 23:00

Harry Carter...Farter

Sydney Coco...Loco.

Sydney is more a boys name and to be honest Sydney Coco sounds rather like a strippers name.

AGunInMyPetticoat · 27/04/2012 23:01

Sounds like some horrible novelty drink to me, sorry!

If you're thinking Coco as in Chanel, how about Gabrielle?

OhBuggerandArse · 27/04/2012 23:04

Is this a reverse AIBU?
