Cynthia

[spreadmarmznotmisery]

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

Nope

I know 2 Cynthias. 1 is mid 70s and white. The other is late teens and black. They both genuinely suit their names.

Weirdly though, I might find it slightly old ladyish on a white baby, but would think it suited a black baby better...no idea why, maybe just because of the young lady I know. It helps that’s she’s very beautiful so honestly she could be called anything and would probably carry it off iyswim.

Makes me think immediately of Angelica's scraggy doll on the Rugrats!

Lovely name! Why shorten it though?

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

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

Same not saw

Lovely name

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

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

Is anyone else thinking of Cynthia Payne aka Madame Cyn?

How about Celia?

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

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

You don't need a nickname!

All the Cynthias I know are Cynthia!

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

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.

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

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.

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

I like Cynthia 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...

I like Cynthia.

I like it. Nn Cindy.

How about Lucinda instead?
