That's funny, because I started out loving Jacinda too. I met a young woman named Jacinda, born in the 80's J-loving era. I then decided that the "d" was a little dingy sounding, and that I preferred Jacintha as it seemed softer and cleaner sounding. From there it was a short leap to crystal clear Jacinta. I now am 50-50 between Jacinta and Giacinta. (Even though I know the J in Spanish Jacinta *should* be pronounced as an English "h," I still pronounce the two names similarly, with an English "j" sound.)

It's funny the way a name nerd's mind evolves. I have way too much time on my hands.
