It’s funny how you never meet a boy named “Sydney” anymore, just girls. We don’t see boys with traditional girls’ names, so I guess it’s an attempt to make girls more “masculine” by giving them boys’ names or last names or place names. But then when everybody’s named “Dakota” or “Taylor,” they just all sound like their parents have no imagination!
I went to school with a girl named Sydney, and one named Joie. (Joey)
But I also went to school with a boy named Golden, and one named Glade.
I like the name Sidney for a boy. And Bonnie for a girl!
(The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra are doing a totally patriotic program, with military bands and honor guards! Even some film clips as they sang the anthems for each of the services. NOW I feel like the 4th of July is really here!!)
I date a "Sidney" and we had a friend named "Sydney" (all of us born in the early 50s) -- somehow I missed its being a boy's name in "Tom Sawyer."
