What does the name ‘Sydeon’ mean?
Originally Sydney’s online alias was the name Neytiri from Disney’s Avatar movie, but she revealed on Twitter that she was finding it hard to brand around that name and found herself competing with search results relating to the film, so opted for a name change back in November 2020.
Why did I change my name? Because the name Neytiri came from Disney’s Avatar movie. I find it hard to brand around that and I compete with Avatar in search engines. And, let’s be honest, I’m losing that competition 😂 the name also doesn’t feel like mine, because it isn’t!
