Sydney Coco for a girl?

[Bethpp]

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, just no.

Yellow

Spell it with a 'c' and tell people it's after Cyd Charisse if they think it's chavvy!

I must admit I wouldn't go for it myself, but I have a slight soft spot as DD's first favourite cuddly was Sydney (albeit a boy)...definitely wouldn't put it with Coco though - I think a more classic name would 'take the edge off' any dubious perceptions and give another option when she's older of she wanted.

It's trying too hard.

Not all babies are yellow you know and jaundice soon clears up.

I like it. That means it will be hugely unpopular on MN . Ask for opinions on Gertrude Vera however....... .

And do people seriously not know what a yellow baby is? I'd just assumed the OP was working along the lines of:
Blue = boy.
Pink = girl.
Yellow = unknown.

Am I wrong then?

WTF is a yellow baby?

unknown

Love Sydney ! :) wouldn't put it with coco though

Oh god please don't name your child Sydney Coco. Sorry to be mean! But it sounds like a nightclub or something.

oh!

light bulb moment

No. Please, no.

Yellow?!

I love both of the names but not together
I went to school with a girl called Coco Scarlett which i think is beautiful
I think Sydney goes well with something like May as she is going to be born in May.

I think Harry is to common but like Carter

but go with what ever your happy with.

Isnt the girls spelling Sidonie?

Sidonie is a lovely name, but it's completely separate from Sydney/Sidney.

Sidonie (var. Sidony) is derived from the Latin Sidonius (place name, which used to be used as a boys name). Sydney is a transferred Norman surname, derived from Saint Denis.

'I'm in lurrrrve with a STRIPPERRRRRRR'

No.

Ah terrific thanks all. I think we still love it, and with suggestions such as Helen or Anne etc it's clear that we all have different views from each other!

Cheers

Sorry just to be clear this is Bethpp the op - just changed my nickname!

There is a wide ocean of names between Anne and Sydney Coco, though, isnt there?

Its the difference between Widdecombe and Jordan.

I love Sydney, but not with Coco.

Sidonie can also pronounced Sidney. It's a much prettier spelling.
Sydney will always be a boys name to me

My dd was jaundiced too, don't worry she was fine after feeding constantly for a few days

It's awful.Truly terrible.Sydney is ugly,and Coco is just silly.

I think Sydney is ugly. Sidonie is lovely! I really like the name 'Seymour' fo a girl- I know in the US it is usually a boy's name, but believe it was originally a girl's name. It sounds kind of soft.

Bristolboop - I think that the Helen and Anne suggestions were perhaps to have a bit of a joke because as silly as the stripper names are, Anne and Helen are the opposite.

Personally, I would go for one or the other - I like Sydney. How about a Sydney and then something less Bobo the clown?

Wasn't one of the Lady Redesdale, mum of the Mitford girls called Sydney? Hate Coco - fine as a nickname (Chanel was Gabrielle I think) - but combination here is just dreadful (well you did ask!)
