Full Names for Sid

Image Credit

This week, Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen named their son Sid. Some people were surprised, but with sons named Max and Gus, I can't think of a better match. Baby Biggs is just Sid, but for most people that's not enough name. If you're in that boat, check out this list of ways to get to Sid.

Expected:

Sidney- Sydney is very popular for girls, which is a shame, because Sidney makes a great name for a boy, and it's the easiest way to get to Sid.

Sigmund- He's very Freudian, which can be interpreted as good or bad.

 

Unique:

Sidonio- This Spanish form of Sidney is the most modern way to get to Sid.

Siegfried- A little too much for an American child, but calling him Sid would be a nice compromise between your German heritage and a useable name.

Sylvester- He doesn't have all of the components of Sid, but the lengthy Sylvester has no nicknames, so why not?

 

Unheard of:

Siddhartha- Way too much to saddle a baby with.

Sigurd- Not the prettiest of names, but you could make it work if you call him Sid.

Sinbad- A compound name of two unpleasant words. If you want to use Sid, pick a different name on this list.

Chicago Names: City Streets

I'm all about subtle honor names--names that honor someone in a way that isn't obvious or flashy. Using the name of the street such honoree grew up on definitely fits into the "subtle honor" category. In fact, I have the name of the street I was born on on my short list for potential middles. Today I'm featuring Chicago street name--this is the city I live in, after all. I would love to make this a series to compare street names of cities around the country. Let me know which city you'd like to be featured next!
