It's been on my mind recently as well! I think it's unexpectedly lovely and elegant.

I like it, but probably wouldn't use it myself. I agree with the others that Cindy is a deterrent. I guess I'd try to avoid that by calling her Cece or something else for short.

I like Cynthia quite a bit, but I'm deterred from using it by the nickname Cindy (which I don't like.)

I've always really liked it. It fits my style--classical, at least three syllables, and somewhat flowery. I don't like Cindy, though, and most Cynthias I've known (well, two out of three) have gone by this nickname.

It has the same kind of sound that names that are coming back in (Sylvia) and names that are already back in (Olivia, Lydia, etc.) have. It seems like it should be gaining popularity, but I don't think it will for a while. Maybe in 15-20 years? Maybe 10? I don't know. Cindy doesn't help anything, that's for sure.

It's not a terrible name, but the s and th sounds together make it sound unattractive to me. Thithter Thinthia thitting on a thithel and like that.

I think it's pretty.

Even though it seems quite dated, I still really love it. It's a very pretty name. My stock combo is Cynthia Alice.

I think it's quite unattractive and dated. It sounds a little like a disease to me.

I like it! It's never been on my radar, but I met the cutest little girl named Cynthia and it was so endearing :). So it falls into the "not for me, but makes me smile to hear it on someone else's kid" category.
