HelpCinnamon
Yes, as a name. Personally, I think it's totally unusuable (pet exception) but I do happen to know a woman named this. She's a doctor at a very small family practice (whatever you want to call it) it's where my family and I went to visit the doctors for checkups, shots and all that jazz. When me and my younger sister would go for routine checkups together (we are close in age) we had always assumed that "Cinnamon" was her last name. It wasn't until we were older we realized that that was actually her first name (and yes, we did laugh over that. (about the name, not the unknowing)
But what are your thoughts on "Cinnamon"? Do you think it's usuable or should it remain for pets as I opinionated above?)
Cinna and Cindy as nicknames make it a smidge more tolerable I think if I hyperthetically had to use this "name"

This one makes my "tacky" list. It just sounds silly as a name.
I'm glad the doctor was able to rock it despite her name. I honestly think it would feel like a burden to me if I were in her situation though. I'd hate to have to be constantly explain my name or feel like people may be judging my ability based on my name. I don't doubt that she could be a great doctor, but I would probably go by Cindy if I were in her shoes. Good for her for not letting it be a barrier, though. She is stronger than I.

A long time ago there was a song "Cinnamon Let Me In," and this is what I think of.
I think Cinnamon is usable. To me it is not too over the top, although I will say it would make a nice pet name too.

Good for a horse.

I met a woman named Cinnamon at a party just the other day! It threw me off for a second, but I didn't comment on it, I figure she gets that enough.
I wouldn't use it, but she seemed to have made it work.

I knew a Cinnamon once. Also a Precious, Princess, Tomeastar ("to me a star"), and a whole heap of names that are hard to imagine on real people.
I don't like Cinnamon, or any of the other names above, but it's surprising how quickly they become ordinary. There's not a lot that I would call genuinely unusable. Definitely not my style, but not as unbelievable as I might have thought before I started meeting such a huge variety of names.

I like it, but I seem to be in minority here.

Dr. Cinnamon sounds like a cartoon character, like a Doc McStuffins who works with candy or the Strawberry Shortcake characters.
Cinnamon in general has a very porn-tastic feel to it.

It's a neat nickname but, thanks to strippers using food as names, that's what it reminds me of. It's a cool-sounding word but as a formal name, it's better for a dog. :-/

I don't like it. It sounds like the stage name of an adult entertainer.

Sure, I think it's silly, but the fact that it was your doctor's name proves it's not unusable. Perhaps the "This name would be a burden, it wouldn't be taken seriously, I need a name that will look good on a resume/job application/business card" sentiment is overblown. The name didn't prevent this woman from becoming a doctor.

The research doesn't show that people with certain names WON'T become doctors, lawyers, presidents, etc. The research shows that people will judge them based on their name. So while you may be able to become a Dr. Cinnamon, its less likely you will receive a position than a Dr. Jane.

I think it could be used as a middle name, though I wouldn't use it.

No, but I think I found a good name for my future Litten!
