What do we think of this name? Nickname could be Cyn or Thia

CalamityJane10 · 22/11/2018 23:05

I like it

thighofrelief · 22/11/2018 23:04

How about Lucinda instead?

Zazia · 22/11/2018 22:52

I like it. Nn Cindy.

grufallosfriend · 22/11/2018 09:15

I like Cynthia.

LipstickTraces · 22/11/2018 09:13

I like CynthiaSmile It’s a lot better than some of the hideous old lady names that are making a comeback. It’s a lot nicer than Ethel, Nora etc...

Kokeshi123 · 22/11/2018 08:29

I don't like this name--makes me think of simper, synthetic and sinister all at the same time!

Dontrocktheboat · 22/11/2018 08:02

I like it, think it has a pretty sound (bit like Thea, which is popular). Don't like any of the nicknamed except maybe Cindy.

NonaGrey · 22/11/2018 08:00

You’d have to like Cindy as that’s a fairly common nickname and she may well choose it herself.

RedDwarves · 22/11/2018 07:53

It's a no from me, and she would always be Cindy, whether you liked it or not.

If you like "Thia", call her Thea.

SlippedMyIdiom · 21/11/2018 23:27

No from me. It's old and not in the 'let's revive it' kind of a way. Thea is pretty and more modern.

lebkuchenlover · 21/11/2018 20:56

All the Cynthias I know are Cynthia!

lebkuchenlover · 21/11/2018 20:55

You don't need a nickname!

hungryhippie · 21/11/2018 20:29

I like it! I dont like any of the nicknames though.

DramaAlpaca · 21/11/2018 20:26

No, I don't like Cynthia or either of those diminutives. At all.

Sophronia · 21/11/2018 20:23

How about Celia?

BigGapMum · 21/11/2018 19:21

Is anyone else thinking of Cynthia Payne aka Madame Cyn?

Shadow1234 · 21/11/2018 19:19

Not liking at all im afraid. (especially with cyn 'sin' sounding nn)

Khorkina · 21/11/2018 19:17

Cyn aka ‘Sin’ isn’t the best nickname!

BertramKibbler · 21/11/2018 18:06

Lovely name

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 21/11/2018 18:05

Same not saw

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 21/11/2018 18:05

No way. It's in the saw boat as Cheryl, Carole, Janet, Ann, Barbara, Sheila and Tina.

ReginaPhalange89 · 21/11/2018 16:55

Instantly thought of Rugrats too lol . I don't like it sorry, too old fashioned for my taste

lebkuchenlover · 21/11/2018 14:30

Lovely name! Why shorten it though?
