[Opinions] Re: Cinda/Cindy
in reply to a message by Array
I adore Lucinda and like the idea of someone acutally using Cindy as a nickname for it instead of Lucy. Although I might be more inclined to spell it Cyndi a la Lauper ; )Cinda is cute though, not sure how well it would work as a full name though. I used to love Cinder as a name though, haha.Cynthia is nice, but not particularly my style. And it seems like every Cynthia I've ever met has gone by Cindy instead. I find Cynthia without a nickname nicer though.Other possiblities for Cinda / Cindy as a nickname:
Cindra
Jacinda
Dulcina
Cinara
Hyacinth
Marcinda
Edited to add that I really like Cinda, and Cinda Rae is cute : )

I'm tickled pink to see that Cyndi is in the database! :D I've always liked the way Ms. Lauper spelled it.Cindra~ Despite the fact that it's hard to get out of my mouth and my overwhelming desire to spell it Sindra (why, I ask--though Sinda would be as pretty as Cinda, certainly), I am liking this one a lot.
Jacinda~ I'm never sure how I feel about this one, but in theory, it's nice. :)
Dulcina~ Oooh, a good idea! I like it.
Cinara~ What can you tell me about this one? I find it very nice looking.
Hyacinth~ Oooh, hadn't thought of this one. My favourite nickname for this is actually Yaz, but Hyacinth nn Cinda would be really cool for a character. I'm not positive I could do it in real life, hehe.
Marcinda~ Never heard this before, but I do love me some Marc- names. :)Thanks! :DDDArray

"Yes," said Laura.A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

Well according to Yeahbaby.com where I did search for names containing "Cin" Cinara is Portuguese, but doesn't have a meaning listed. And Marcina is listed as "American" and meaning "with great stride". Haha, I doubt either one is accurate but who knows?
While searching about a bit of Cinara I came across mention of it in the Odes of Horace: http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/bl/bl_text_horace_odes4.htm
