Name of the Day

Sydney

French, "Wide meadow; from St. Denis, France"

Isn't it amazing how one name can sound entirely different on two people? On a boy, Sydney comes off as an elderly gentleman with a bow tie, but on a girl, Sydney is chic, young, and ready to whup some bad-guy ass (thanks to Jennifer Garner on Alias). It is interesting to note that in the past 20 years, Sydney has replaced the similar but daintier Cindy in the popularity polls.
