What do you think? Sidney for his birth certificate name but he will go by Sid. All input welcome :)

Love it.

UltraBOF · 28/10/2012 17:57

Quite nice really. I can't help but think of Ricky from East Enders though. But yeah, I can see it making a comeback.

Hmmm. I kinda like Sidney but when I say 'Sid' out loud, it sounds too short and harsh, like I've stopped mid-name. Could be my accent though.

PickledFanjoCat · 28/10/2012 18:08

Mmm, I like it. It's a "grower" I fancy.

TomsBentPinky · 28/10/2012 18:11

Sorry, i did say sorry, it is an acronym for that isn't it?

SoulTrain · 28/10/2012 18:11

Blimey Tom. Sad

It's my DN's name and its fabulous. Grin

TomsBentPinky · 28/10/2012 18:12

I dind't mean to offend, she asked and thats what I thought :(

I'll ask for my post to be deleted,

very sorry.

tanfastic · 28/10/2012 18:12

I like it.Smile

TomsBentPinky · 28/10/2012 18:13

Have asked for my post to be deleted Blush

SoulTrain · 28/10/2012 18:18

I wouldn't ask for it to be deleted, your post wasn't offensive. It was just probably the last thing the OP had thought of that the name made her think of. No harm done. Smile - OP did ask for all views!

Strawhatpirate · 28/10/2012 18:18

Don't worry Tom! All input welcome :)

There's a Sid in DS1's class and I really like the name Smile

I have a DN called Sidney Ann which is great too Smile

NotChristmasCarol · 28/10/2012 18:34

There's a lovely Sid in the year above DD1 at school (he's 5). I know his full name is Sidney.

I really like it. It's cool in an insouciant and non-try hard way and I think it works well for both child and adult.

DinosaursOnASpaceship · 28/10/2012 18:39

I'm not sure what the deleted post was, put my first thought at seeing the word Sid was probably the same. Sorry.

maxybrown · 28/10/2012 18:44

Min is Ice Age Grin but I love it

Ham69 · 28/10/2012 18:44

I think it's a really cool name for a boy. I knew a baby with that name years ago and thought how lovely it was. The deleted post comment didn't come to mind at all. Maybe if it was plural and spelt in capitals, otherwise, wouldn't cross my mind. Love Sidney too.

maxybrown · 28/10/2012 18:44

My first thought I meant

Strawhatpirate · 28/10/2012 18:49

Thanks everyone!

It's a no from me.It has an ugly harsh sound that doesn't belong on a lovely baby.

cashmerewebsandspidersheads · 28/10/2012 20:48

I know a little boy Sydney- Syd. Suits him.
A family member has a George Sidney/Sydney too.

RosannaBanana · 30/10/2012 10:13

Love Sidney not so keen on Sid.

manicinsomniac · 30/10/2012 17:40

I don't like it at all. And my first thought was, I imagine, the same as Tom's deleted post.
