The answer

If the question is about the word "Sidra" (سِدْرَة) with a kasra on the sin, a sukoon on the dal, a fat-ha on the ra, and a ta marbuta, then there is no objection to naming with it. Its meaning is the well-known tree that bears nabk fruit. Umm Hafs Sidra bint Yazid was named with this name.
