wdyto...........Thandie?
I've suddenly started thinking about the name Thandie...Thandie Newton the actress is where I heard it, was wondering if it could be a boy's name too?would love to know......Your opinion of the name, have you heard of it before, do you know anything about it?Do you think it could be used for a boy or a girl, both? Who would it suit the most?also how would you pronounce it?Thanks for your help in advance! xxx

I've never heard this name before, and I don't really like it that much.I think that it sounds like a girl's name.I would pronounce it 'Thandy.'

I have never heard of it either, and I am not fond of it. Its cutesy and nny as Timothy mentioned. However, if you spelled it without the -ie ending, you could get away with it being more masculine (-ie usually implies a feminine -e ending). Either way, I dont like it for either gender.

Thandie is cute : )In Thandie Newton's case her birth name is Thandiwe. And she pronounces Thandie as TAN-dee.There is also the spelling Tandy, but I think Thandie looks nicer.I don't really see it as a boys name.

I agree, but I think I like Thandiwe better. :-)

Too cutesy/nicknamey for me. I have never heard it before, nor do I know anything about it. With the -ie ending, it seems more suited for a girl, but I don't care for it for either gender.

I've never heard it before, it's quite pretty and is unique, and I would say it would be ok on either gender, but I wouldn't use it.
I would pronounce it (unless told otherwise) exactly how it is spelt.
