[Opinions] Re: Sidney
in reply to a message by sprout
Well, it has always been, and never not been, a boy name.
I like it pretty well. I just don't like the -dn- in it, and for that reason I would be very unlikely to use it.
My character-image of Sidney is part-dorky (like Sid the Science Kid) and part-punk (like Sid Vicious). Neither strong nor handsome, but still a contender because of being either shrewd or brash, or both. A positive image, but not purely so.
I like that it was first popularized because of a political martyr, that makes it interesting.
