Sid Snot 'ere will be known to people of a certain generation. You get a lot of snot with babies and children OP, so I wouldn't let that worry you.Grin

There's also Sid on Cbeebies of course - we like him!

Hate it. Never met a boy Sidney but I do know 2 girls called Sydney so for me it’s both feminine and ugly. Your baby your choice though, if you love it that’s all that matters.

It is fairly popular. I'm not keen but it's better than some names out there that are ridiculously popular and I've no idea why

Love it for a girl - hate it for a boy.

Stanley is way nicer

Well, it's a lot better than Sidney for a girl.

I am very sorry but it's the name I dislike most out of any name. It sounds so sour and it rhymes with kidney. Illogical but I detest it.

Cute name x

I hate old man names, like Stanley etc. No idea why that name is so popular.

I went to school with a Sidney so I don’t see it as an old man name. I quite like it. Although one of our fish is called Sidney Grin
