Cedric, Sidney? Yay or nay?

Boy Names

WDYT of [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] or [name_m]Sidney[/name_m] if our next baby is a boy? Our DS is named R0bin.

Is [name_m]Sidney[/name_m] making it too “gender neutral matchy matchy”? I like [name_m]Sid[/name_m] as a nn.

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] is another one we both like. [name_f]May[/name_f] use nn [name_m]Ricky[/name_m], but may not.

Thoughts?

Personally, I love :blossom: C e d r i c & R o b i n :blossom:
Both are names I love separately & they make an exceptionally sweet sib set :yellow_heart:

Oh, I like both [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] and [name_m]Sidney[/name_m], and they work so well as brothers to [name_m]Robin[/name_m].

Personally I prefer [name_m]Sidney[/name_m], but for you I’d give a slight edge to [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] for the gender-neutral issue of [name_m]Robin[/name_m] and [name_m]Sidney[/name_m].

I think [name_m]Sidney[/name_m] goes better with bro’s name. It’s softer and flows better.

[name_m]Sidney[/name_m] is clunky cool! I like it. I don’t think it feels to matchy with R0bin.

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] is gentle and charming with strength too. I think [name_m]Ced[/name_m] would be a cool nickname too.

I’d say [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] if you want to match the ‘soft but strong’, slightly quirky vibes of R.
If you want to lean more towards ‘old-man’ , vintage style options, [name_m]Sidney[/name_m] would be my choice,

I like [name_m]Sidney[/name_m] but all I can think about is the word knee

[name_m]Sidney[/name_m] is a great name, but [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] gets my vote!

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] is cool, unexpected and charismatic. As a nickname, Cid, [name_m]Ced[/name_m], [name_m]Eric[/name_m], [name_m]Dre[/name_m] and Dric would be interesting.

I think Rob!n and [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] create a very handsome, joyful and cohesive sibset.

I like [name_m]Sidney[/name_m] better with [name_m]Robin[/name_m], and I like [name_m]Sid[/name_m]. [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] is a great name too, though.

I think [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] is better. [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] and [name_m]Robin[/name_m] are so good together. :deciduous_tree: :european_castle: :wilted_flower:

If you decided to go with [name_m]Sidney[/name_m] I don’t think they’re too matchy though. It’s about as matchy as choosing all classic names, or choosing all names with three syllables - I’d notice the pattern but the names still feel separate.

I like those nn, too. [name_m]Ced[/name_m], [name_m]Sid[/name_m], and [name_m]Ricky[/name_m] are appealing imo although we would probably just use [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] as a whole

I like these emojis! Definitely encompasses the feel that I was going for, lol.

Team [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] here! I personally am not ready for [name_m]Sidney[/name_m] to come back yet. Maybe I just know too many middle-upper aged Sidney’s.

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] feels like such a good sibling to R0bin. Eclectic, slightly medieval, slightly whimsical. Balanced but totally individual. I don’t think [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] needs a nickname, but I’ve heard of [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] nn Ceddy.

I know what you mean. I want [name_m]Sidney[/name_m] to come back for boys but I reckon it will be a couple decades.

Thanks for your opinion :slight_smile: I agree with you about team [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] overall and preferring to keep it as its own name

You can’t go wrong with either of those names. They both sound great with [name_m]Robin[/name_m].
