Super dated American.

I think it's lovely. But I agree about using Lucinda or Jacinda as the full name with Cindy as a nickname.

AdaColeman · 05/10/2021 19:54

Sweet as a nn for Lucinda when they are little.

donquixotedelamancha · 05/10/2021 19:53

I would not go with Cindy. Barbie, LOL or Bratz might be nicer alternatives along the same theme.

@BubbleCoffee

I like it as nickname for Lucinda.
Oh this is a good idea
Suchalicklepumpkin · 05/10/2021 19:51

No for me, as I thought immediately of Cinders or Cindy Lou Who (TheGrinch)

AnyaMoondial · 05/10/2021 19:51

I really like it. But nn for Lucinda is even better.

Blubells · 05/10/2021 19:51

I like it.

Short for Cynthia

Blondiney · 05/10/2021 19:50

Crawford.

Aquamarine1029 · 05/10/2021 19:50

No, too dated.

BubbleCoffee · 05/10/2021 19:50

I like it as nickname for Lucinda.

I know a Jacinta who has the nn Cindy and she’s amazing. I’m not sure as a name on its own to be honest. Good luck.

DoodleBelle · 05/10/2021 19:44

How about Lucinda nn Cindy?

seaandsandcastles · 05/10/2021 19:42

I love it! Reminds me of the Sindy doll though…

TheWashingMachine · 05/10/2021 19:41

Ghastly and bad connotations with Cinderella.

Rysimo · 05/10/2021 19:40

I absolutely love it and it's my no1 choice for a baby girl. I have three boys, still waiting for my Cindy. Absolutely do it and enjoy her.

Comedycook · 05/10/2021 19:39

It's actually a gorgeous name...I really like it. It does sound a bit dated but I wouldn't let that put you off.

Orphlids · 05/10/2021 19:38

I really like it, but it feels like a bit of a guilty pleasure! I’ve got a friend called Cindy, she is ace. But she’s not keen on her name. I think it’s cool though. I’d like to be called Cindy.

@Beyondword that's the slight worry I had, I personally don't know any Cindy's so this is why I wasn't sure. But thank you!

I'm sorry, I don't like it.
I think it sounds very dated.
