I prefer Jacinta, I think. It's more floral and fresh, whereas I put Jacinda in the same categorie as other dated -inda names (Linda, Melinda, Belinda, etc.).

I like Jacinda. I also like Cindy as a nickname. For a middle name, I would use something with one or two syllables, avoiding ND/DN (so no Edna, for example) or names beginning with J or ending in A. I would also avoid anything too flowery/modern-- I would lean towards classics. Knowing the last name would inform my choice of middle name. Some of my picks are:Jacinda Leigh
Jacinda Marie
Jacinda Cecille
Jacinda Elle
Jacinda Louise
Jacinda Brooke
Jacinda Nicole

I don't much care for that spelling. I enjoy the more classic Jacinta [ZHA-SEEN-TA is the Portuguese pronounciation, kha-SEEN-ta in Spanish] on a girl, even Jacinthe [French].For a boy, there is Jacinto {[ kha-SEEN-to, Spanish] & [ZHA-SEEN-To, Portuguese]} & even the unconventional French Hyacinthe [YA-SEHNT]Depending on your tastes and I suppose where you are really. Just educate people on how you want the name to be pronounced.

Enid, Edmee, or Ninlil. Something abrupt or tidy sounding, I think.I wouldn't use it because it doesn't look quite English to me even though it is (I have this weird feeling like I can't place it), but it's a pretty sounding name.

Ninlil! I’ve never heard that before, it’s great.

I'm glad someone else likes it. I feel like it's interesting and approachable, but I did a poll on it last year, and about 3 quarters of voters hated or disliked it.

Well that’s a shame! At least it probably won’t become overexposed :)

I like it a lot, but I think I prefer Jacinta more, it feels more hyacinth-y to me. I would use Jacinda Margot :)
