I agree with you 100%. The nn Cindy kept me from loving Cynthia too, until I read on another board that Thia could be a nn. Do you like that any better than Cindy?

Cynthia is very light and airy. It's similar to a favorite of mine, Jacintha.

I prefer Cynthia Jane to Cynthia Louise, but they are both nice. How about:

Cynthia Daphne / Laurel
Cynthia Phoebe (both refer to Artemis, I think. Too much?)
Cynthia Hermione
Cynthia Leto
Cynthia Iris
Cynthia Penelope
Cynthia Persephone
Cynthia Irene
Cynthia Frances
Cynthia Rosalind
Cynthia Mary
Cynthia Alice / Alix
Cynthia Imogen
Cynthia Helen
Cynthia Pearl
Cynthia Isabelle
Cynthia Anais
Cynthia Holly
Cynthia Violet
Cynthia Delphine
Cynthia Ines
Cynthia Natalie
Cynthia Fleur
Cynthia Astrid
Cynthia Liv
Cynthia Hope
Cynthia Eve
Cynthia Maeve
Cynthia Sinead
Cynthia Tess
Cynthia Lenore
Cynthia Eirlys
Cynthia Angharad ("ang-HAR-ud")
Cynthia Gwendolen
Cynthia Damaris

You like?

I like

Cynthia Irene
Cynthia Mary
Cynthia Lenore (I like Eleanor better, though)

I don't know if I like Thia as a nickname. If I heard it I would think of Thea short for Dorothea or Theodora.

Thanks for the feedback. Cynthia Eleanor is better than Cynthia Lenore. :-)

Cynthia Georgina / Georgine popped into my head. Or, Cynthia Caroline / Cynthia Charlotte. The repeated C's look a little strange to my eyes, but the sounds are different. Plus, it lends itself to the nn Cece / C.C.
