Is Sian too old lady?

[Greendaisydays]

I love Sian but hear it’s old lady in Wales?

Still like Siriol but people don’t seem keen. Others being considered

Rhedyn
Cadi
Nia
Heulwen
Manon

Ela will be middle name probably though we considered Medi

I love Sian! Totally would have been on my list if husband liked it too

Hate it

It's very 70s. What about Mabli or Mali?

It's definitely not. I like Manon a lot.

Sian is pretty cool to my ears. But Siriol sounds like a laxative.

I love Sian. No old ladies I know are called this.
Thought old lady names were making a come back anyway!

Seren is pretty too.

Sian is nice but I think Nia is my far the best name on that list

Sian is the Welsh equivalent of Jane. If you like it, use it! I don’t think it is old lady but in any event if you’re not in wales there won’t be any old lady connotations. There are lots of Sian’s in my family, with ages ranging from 17 to 75.

Cadi is nice too, not keen on the others

The Sians I know are over 25, I don't know if any recently born.

I know 3 Sians born in the 90s so it doesn’t sound old to me, but I think these things always come down to personal experience.

I like Sian. I've only ever met 3, nonee of them old ladies (one is mid 30s and the other two would be around 20 and 18ish). Oh actually I worked with another Sian but she pronounced it si-ann. Again around 20/21

I really like Manon.

Sian sounds middle-aged rather than old, to my English ear. It's in the Debbie, Sandra, Mel and Michelle bracket.

I only know one Sian and she's in her early 20s. It's a pretty name.

It's my middle name, I don't class myself as an old lady!!!! 😂 😂 😂 I love it

Know a lot of Sians around my age (mid 30s) don’t like it and don’t like the way it is said outside of Wales really.

It’s also my middle name. I wouldn’t say it is an old lady name but I probably wouldn’t use it, it feels like there are a fair few of them in their 20’s/30’s.

I love Nia, one of my favourite names.

I don't think it's an old lady name at all, or even middle aged. I don't think I know any little ones, except for one Siani (Shanny) who may really be a Sian.

It's lovely.

It's my name! I'm late 30's but know a few Sian's ranging from 20 to 50.

Lovely name.
Definitely not old lady-esque.

I'm never quite saw how to pronounce it

It's also one of those I know a couple of absolute cows called ... names

So it's a no from me I'm afraid

I’d say a bit dated as I know many in 30s and 40s but no old ladies. I think Heulwen could def be an old lady.
Sian is nice but you need a little hat really. Siân.
Don’t like Siriol at all! Or Rhedyn.
Like Nia and Manon too. Cadi quite “trendy” atm.

Siân - a bit middle aged. Used to much by non Welsh speakers for my liking
Siriol - nice, not overused. Might not suit a miserable child
Rhedyn - awful
Cadi - fine
Nia - same as for Siân
Heulwen - no, nice meaning but grannyish
Manon - too popular

Ela - not keen
Medi - only for a September birth
