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!

The character Seymour Butts might make one think twice about using that as a first name.

Who mentioned Cyd Charisse? She was originally called Tula...

I wouldn't go for Sydney Coco, because I don't really like the sound of the two names together, but that's probably just me (I'd pick a one syllable middle name, so Sydney Rose for example). But you obviously do, because your boy's name is the same, so go for it! Smile

Scatter - that was me. I know she wasn't named 'Cyd' (apparently it came about because one of her younger siblings couldn't pronounce 'sis' Grin ), but I think it's still a nice potential connection.

Sydney Rose went through my head too, although it sounds a bit like Nicole Kidman's Sunday Rose.

Sydney is a man's name. Whether you spell it Sidney or Sydney, it's still a man's name.

Coco is a nickname. It could be used for Constance or Corinna or Colette or Cora or Cordelia. Or something completely different.

Sydney Coco sounds like a Ben and Jerry's flavour. Great for ice cream, not so good on child.

DumSpiro it wasn't that I thought you didn't, just I'm very proud of knowing that bit of useless information! I once won a pub quiz with it, so whenever she comes up, I mention what her given name was Grin and don't tell everybody I only remember because of the handbag make

Cyd Charisse wasn't chavvy... though her real name was Tula Ellise.

Socorro is a long version of Coco...

I like the boys name Harry Carter although Harry wouldn't be my choice it is becoming quite popular.

I like the name Sydney for a girl and I don't think it sounds chavvy at all (maybe I am a chav?!), have to be honest and say I'm not keen on Coco. I like names after places e.g. Paris, Florence, Sydney, India etc because I love travelling.

I like Sydney Coco!

DumSpiroSpero · 28/04/2012 16:53

No worries Scatter - I actually resorted to wiki to check before I posted! Grin

DumSpiroSpero · 28/04/2012 16:55

How about Cydney Elise?
