Jacinta

[Roopoo]

What's the verdict???

I love it, I know one, she's 13yo, she's the brightest bubbliest teen you could ever meet

It's unutterably beautiful. Does it mean 'hyacinth'? There aren't enough Jacintas in the world.

I know 2- both lovely women. One my mothers age, and the other a bit younger than me.

How do you pronounce Jacinta?

don't like it

Jah-sin-ta? It's rare around these parts, in fact i've never met anyone with that name or heard in before. If it's said Jah-sin-ta I like it.

Yep that's how it's prounounced..
I do love it.........

Does it go with Matilda??

simply horrid

As children we used to call my sister, Jacqueline, 'Jacinthe' as a kind of 'exotic' take on her name. Not sure I would use in real grown up life though.

It's heard more often in Ireland, not at all unusual there.

Very Irish (all ones I know are either old Irish ladies or have Irish parents) and I love it, would pick it but Dh says no

I just read in in a book and fell in love with it...

Oooh, that's one of those names thats set's my teeth on edge, would have been popular in parts of Dublin in the '70s.

So that would be a no.

Jacinta was the name of a trawler my dad was on!

I know two, both 16/17

and in my opinion it is a really horrible name!! actually....it might even compete for being my most disliked name!!!

Sorry to all Jacintas but it does something funny to me

I think it goes with Matilda, yes.

I don't like it, sorry.

Don't like, though I DO list Jocasta, but it rhymes with out surname

Really not keen, although I know a lovely woman whose real name is Jacinta. She goes by Jazzy though. Much nicer.

Not nice.

A lovely girl I know is called this. It's not unusual in Ireland for some reason. My friend goes by Jazzy though. Much less holy roller than Jacinta.

Post-google

Jacinat and Francisco were two children who witnessed the apparition of 'our lady' at Fatima in 1917!!!

There you go!
