Help[Opinions] Re: Mindy
in reply to a message by queenv
The only Mindy I know used it for Melinda too.
I wasn't super keen on Mindy, but it's certainly cute in the way that Molly, Rosie, Cindy and Dolly are. NMS, but I can see the appeal.
I have always likes Melinda though. We actually considered it for a few days before we named Clarisse. I was rooting for the nickname Min or Minnie though. Lindy would have been cute too.
In the end, we added Melina to our list and left it at that. The d seemed to keep Melinda dated, while removing it gave it a more modern feel.
MISREAD: thought you asked for alternate nicknames to Melinda.
I think Mindy could work for Aminda, Mirinda or Miranda too. Maybe Minodora, but that would be a stretch.
It actually works for Mohinder too. I have heard that used a lot on TV shows lately for the token Indian character. Mindy would be a quirky nickname for it that he could get away with being "foreign" etc.
