Okay, all jokes aside, even though I still primarily only think of Sid the sloth, there were two jazz connotations I quickly remembered. Sid Catlett, the bebop drummer, and Sid Phillips, the clarinet player who also made a couple APM tracks featured on SpongeBob (Sugar Beat).

From now on, you’ll have to refer to me as "Sid, Lord of the Flame".

Sid is also used as a feminine name in English, as a short form of Sidney. However, it's more common for males. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Masculine" to "Masculine & Feminine".

I like the name a lot for a guy, it reminds me a lot of the punk singer Sid Vicious, though, who was not held in high esteem by many, although widely admired by some.

Sid Vicious is a pretty bad connection, being... you know... a murderer, who also wore shirts with swastikas on them for ~shock value~. To say he's "not held in high esteem by many" is pretty reductionist. (Also, he was not a singer. Johnny Rotten was the singer of the Sex Pistols. Sid was the Pistols' bass guitarist... and unless you listen to live recordings of them, you've never actually even heard him play, because he was in the hospital when they recorded their only studio album.)
But for anyone who likes this name but worries about the connection, here might be a little bit of solace: Sid wasn't even his real name.

I like Syd better, though I'm not a kreatyve person. It just looks better. It's an okay name though. I'm mostly neutral but it's not as bad as people in the comments below me say.

Sid Ahmed Rezala was an Algerian-born French serial killer, dubbed "The Killer of the Trains". He was suspected of killing at least three women in 1999. Arrested in Portugal in early 2000, he confessed his murders to a reporter from the Figaro Magazine. Several weeks after, he committed suicide before he could be extradited to France. He was asphyxiated by intentionally setting fire to the mattress in his cell while his prison guards watched football on TV.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but Sid is the original name of Cookie Monster from Sesame Street, before he became Cookie Monster.

Why is this listed as only a masculine name? It's also a common nickname for GIRLS named Sidney, like (for example) one of my friends, and my aunt. I've always gotten a bit of a chuckle out of the fact that I have an aunt named Sid(ney), and another named Nancy.

@MorbidHarlequin I knew a girl whose sibling had the name "Sidra" and they used Sid as a nickname for her. So yeah, Sid can certainly be short for female names also.

I agree that Sid sounds like an annoying name, which is why I like it so much. I have a role playing character named 'Sid Hale', who is always playing tricks on people, making corny jokes, and acting just plain annoying.
It is also the name of a character in the Nick show 'Hey Arnold!' He is the character with a big nose coming out of his hat, and the black jacket and white boots.

Reminds me of the disease babies can die from. Kind of a sad & sickening name to me.
