This is my name, I hate it very much and kind of deeply despise my parents for naming me this. It was uncool and mean for them to do this. Their other options were so much better and they decided to go with an old Jewish man name. Very uncool. If you are a parent thinking about naming your child Sidney, don't because my parents did and now I'm bitter about it. As I said the name Sidney is very uncool.

I really enjoy the name Sidney! I think the pronunciation of the name is unique, and I like the way it kind of rolls off the tongue. It's far from boring like a lot of names starting with 'S' and it sounds very serene and peaceful to me. Like the name of a flower or tree that you would find in the forest. I think people who are elegant and full of ingenuity are fitting for the name 'Sidney'.

I think the "Sid" part makes it look masculine enough for a boy. It's okay on a girl.

This is my son's name. A lot of people mistake his name for a girls' till I say no, my son. He really mainly goes by Sid. He loves his name and that's all that matters.

This name is all boy to me, there is nothing feminine about it at all. My opinion is swayed by the fact my grandfather is called Sidney and by Sidney Crosby.

This should really be left as a last name. It doesn't sound good for either gender.

I actually prefer this as a boy's name, although that's probably only because it was originally a boy's name and Sydney has only been recently used. Sidney as a girl's name isn't that bad though, at least it's not a city and has some history. Bottom line, I like the sound of the name, but I only like this spelling (for a boy or a girl). The nickname "Sid" just sounds nerdy and a little stuffy to me though.

I CANNOT see this as a girl's name. It was the name of my grandpa and he was very trustworthy, kind, and heroic. However, I can sort of see Sydney as a girl's name with that spelling.

For girls, this name is so bland and ceases to look "cool" and "edgy" after the age of 19. I really don't like it. Can't say I like it for a guy either, but it's my dad's middle name so I respect it.

This always seemed like a girl name to me until Sidney Crosby came along. And he's just so athletic (and handsome) that I'm actually starting to like it more as a boy name. Go figure.

I go to school with a boy named Sidney. He goes by Sid and hates his full name because the name is more often being used on girls. He is also made fun of mercilessly when teachers call out his name for attendance and say 'Sidney' instead of 'Sid.' To me, the name Sidney looks and sounds masculine, not feminine at all. The name Sydney looks more feminine, but still has a very masculine sound, and is becoming popular. If parents are considering naming their boy Sidney, be prepared for him to complain about having girls named Sydney in his class and being mistaken for a girl when his name is called.

Baron Giorgio Sidney Sonnino (March 11, 1847 – November 24, 1922) was an Italian politician.
Sonnino was born in Pisa to an Italian father of Jewish heritage and a Welsh mother. He was raised as a Protestant. In 1878, he started a newspaper (La Rassegna Settimanale), which changed from weekly economical reviews to daily political issues. In 1893, after working in several governmental positions, he became finance minister of Italy. He worked in the opposition after the fall of his party from power as a result of the lost Battle of Adwa. He served several times briefly as Prime Minister, in 1906 and again from 1909 to 1910.
After the events in 1914, Sonnino was initially supportive to the side of Germany and Austria-Hungary, but after becoming foreign minister in November 1914, he sided with the Allied forces, and signed the Treaty of London in 1915. Italy consequently declared war on Austria-Hungary on May 23, 1915.
When his territorial ambitions towards Austria-Hungary were shattered during the Paris Peace Conference, his party lost power again, and Sonnino retired from politics.
