We are having our second girl and are having trouble naming her. As of last night, I've been really really really loving the name Sydney. DH says it's okay but I think if I had middle name suggestions he would get on board.
For reference, DD1 is named Jessie Lynn and both names were his pick. The more I think about it, the more I love this name and I really want to get him to agree, help!

If you really want to get him on board, you might want to consider a middle name in honor of one of his family members (mom, grandma, etc.)
Other than that, since Sydney is a somewhat unisex name, I'd go with a decidedly feminine middle name. Marie, Jane, Anne, Grace, and Elizabeth all sound good with Sydney in my opinion.
Good luck!

I really like the name Sydney! I know a girl with that name and everyone calls her Syd, which I love.
Do you have any family names that would work as a middle?

We don't really have any family names that are important to us to use or that we love.
@loveisstrange: Rae was a middle name that we were playing around with when we were considering Caroline; I'll bring it up again!
I also really love Sydney Jane and Sydney Grace. Thanks ladies!

Sydney is my DW's top pick for a girl and consequently in the running with my top pick! If we choose Sydney it will be Sydney Grace (Grace is a family name :)).

@Rainbow Sprinkles: Mae is on my list and I adore Belle!! I never would have thought of that on my own.
@Kimberlybee: I really love Irene too! Great suggestions!
DH is saying if I still feel the same about the name in a few days we can name her Sydney so basically that's her name 
I feel so so sure that it's the perfect name! You ladies are really helping me get some good middle name options.

@loveisstrange: that was my first thought.
I also thought of May/Mae if you want to go more feminine.
