Re: Cindy
in reply to a message by Felie
In the US, Cindy is very much dated, tied to the 1950's through the 1970's. It was hugely popular then both by itself and as a nn for Cynthia. Cynthia is also quite dated and in my opinion, deservedly so; I dislike the lispy sound and sour, middle-aged vibe of it. Cindy I find much more down to earth but a bit cutesy, like Cindy on the Brady Bunch.
There aren't really any particularly strong associations with the name here. There's the model Cindy Crawford, the singer Cyndi Lauper, Cindy Brady, and the little girl Cindy Lou from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas.""It's one thing to be open-minded and quite another to be so open-minded your brains fall out."--Dear Abby
"Let other people push you around, and you deserve whatever bad things happen after that."--Lauren Bacall
