Seeing the recent negative comments about
Mandy made me think of
Mindy. I had a friend named
Mindy. In her case, it was a nickname for
Melinda. She once commented that she hated her full name
Melinda and would never want to be called it on a regular basis. I surmise then that she liked her nickname
Mindy, or at least found it far preferable to
Melinda.
Do you like
Mindy, either stand alone or as a nickname? Or is it awful? Is there any full name you think it could be a nickname for other than
Melinda?
