Cindy

[iyuvlo]

What are your opinions of Cindy for a girl? TIA

Showing my age, but I think of a doll. It's not my personal favourite, but it's not terrible.. was it short for Cynthia originally?

My first thought was also the doll and then a dog I used to know.....so it's a big no from me.

My first reaction was NO but actually on second thoughts I think it's quite sweet! Maybe it's due a revival?

I immediately thought ''doll'' & ''Crawford''.

Sounds a bit old fashioned.

The British equivalent of Barbie. I have 2 long abandoned Cindys upstairs, One has no hands(!). and the other has had a bad hair day since some gave her a shampoo.

Short for Lucinda.

American cheerleader

The doll (sindy) or Beale from Eastenders.
Sorry.

First thought was Sindy, the doll. Second thought was Cyndaquil, the Pokémon.

I have two lovely friends called Cindy both late 60s/early 70s.
I like it because it reminds me of them.

And the doll was spelt Sindy.

I really like it. It’s fun. Has a cheerful and light-hearted sound.

I also think of the dolls, but I do think it's quite lovely, especially if short for Lucinda.

It’s a no from me, sorry OP

Lucinda on the birth certificate. But I love Cindy, it’s underused and adorable. She’ll definitely be the only one!

And yes the doll absolutely was Sindy, not Cindy. I really wouldn’t pay any mind to that if you love the name.

I can see the appeal. It sounds fun and carefree. I do really like Lucinda though.

Every generation has its diminutive names ending in an ee sound. These days we've got Evie and Maisie, in the 60s there was Cindy and Vicky. They'll always be popular.

Two thoughts: Cindy Beale and the girl my first love lost his virginity to (she worked in the Gateway supermarket).

I think it's cute!
I agree with others on using Lucinda on the birth cert.
She could then choose from Lucy and Cindy as nickname.

i have a good school friend called Lucinda. She’s always been Cindy and she prefers it. I always called her Lucinda as i like it better 🤭

Doll that was never as good as Barbie

All the Cindy's I know are called Cynthia.
I prefer Lucinda rather than Cindy.

I always think the dolly or Cindy from Eastenders. Always used to think it was a terrible name but now I don't like it or hate it.

That I wouldn’t want to have the same name as a well know brand of crappy dolls.

Don’t

But yes, Lucinda as a FN if you must.

I thought 'doll' too.

Really dislike it tbh. Sounds vapid and ditsy to my ear. Much nicer names out there.

My first thought is a doll. I have a friend who's name is barbie absolutely awful for her although Cindy is a bit better. But that's our thoughts OP if you love the name that's all that matters. Many names come back around.
