I've always lived this for a girl. Like Cyd Charisse. Do you think I could get away with it even though we are not welsh?

Nah.

Prefer her real name, Tula.

Love it and love the spelling.

Do you pronounce it 'Sid'?

Yes. Pronounced Sid. Somehow the spelling seems more appropriate for a girl.
OH is trying to veto!

Cydny for a girl is lovely.... I'm not sure about cyd though. I don't know why!

Like it because of Cyd Charrise, is it short for something?

Love Tula too actually!

She'll have a lifetime of "Sid? Isn't that a boy's name?" "Not Sid. Cyd. C-Y-D". "Oh, but pronounced Sid? Like the boy's name?". Same reason I sadly scratched Huw off my list; if it's not a known spelling in wherever she's likely to grow up, it's making life too difficult.

I know an eleven-year-old Cyd and she's lovely.

Cool name!
