Thoughts on this name?

Sydney.

It's my cousins name and I love it. I only knew one other 'Sydney' ... doesn't seem like a popular name, just want to know what you think of it.

I think of Scream.

I prefer Sidney as a masculine name.

NMS but I know a few Sydneys. It's slowly dropping in popularity but was in the top 20s for a while in the early 2000s.

Like Sidney on a boy dislike Sydney on a girl although it's just personal taste I guess

I like it.

I like it. I actually have a male relative Sidney and a female cousin Sydney. Personally Sid on a boy makes me think of the awful kid from Toy Story, so I prefer the feminine.

It makes me think of Sidney Crosby, although I know it can be a girl's name, too.

I knew a girl Sydney in high school and that is the only one I've ever know. It's NMS but I do like it.

It's NMS but it's not terrible. Definitely makes me think of Scream.

I've known two: one was a bartender at a restaurant where I worked after college. She would easily be in her 70s by now. The other is in 8th grade and is the older sister of a classmate of my son's.

nothing appealing about it to me

I like it a lot, and it's a family name for us (my 100 year old great great uncle!). Check regional popularity because I think it was very very popular in NYC last I checked.

I personally have pretty negative connotations with it. The most annoying student I've ever had was named Sydney, and a friend of mine married a Sidney (male) and had a daughter that they named Sydney because, and I quote "he didn't get a boy to name after himself." For whatever reason, that just makes me cringe.

I also think of the turd bucket kid from Toy Story.

I love Sydney for a girl! Chances are, she won't see Scream for a while, and if you tried to avoid names that have been in a movie before...you'd be down to NOTHING. Good Luck!
