Does Cynthia have nicknames?

Well, besides Cindy! I'm interested to hear what you might use as a nickname for Cynthia. I like nicknames to evolve organically from the child's name; I don't think that you have to have a planned nickname at birth, but I'd be interested to see what nicknames you might see stemming from Cynthia as a first name! Thanks!

I've known a Cynthy.
Also a Cyd.

I love Cynthia, nn Thia. I've also heard of Cinda, which I like much better than Cindy. I can't stand Cindy!
Cynthia nn Thia is on my shortlist.

I have heard of Cynthia used as a nickname for Cynthia before. I like Thea / Thia as well. I don't think that Cynthia needs a nickname though.

Cin, Thea, and Tia are the only ones I can think of.

Cynthie
Tia
Cyna / Cina (SEE - na)
Thia / Thea
Nia
Cia / Cya (SEE - a)
Yntha (EEN - tha)
Cinnie / Cynnie (SIN - nie)
Yna (EE - na)
Ia (EE - a) or (I - a)
Yia (YEE - a)
Yaya
Nitha (NEE - tha)
Cyntha (SIN - tha)
Nytha (NYE - tha)
Nithie (nith - EE)

I know some of these are pretty out there, but I think anything that mixes up the letters would work.

I like Cina, but I think I might say it SIN-a, kind of like Sidda (who was Siddalee) in Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood. With that in mind, I'm also intrigued by Yaya! Thanks!

The only nicknames in one of the books I have for Cynthia are:
Cindy, Cinda, Tia, Thea

I like Thea spelled this way. I'm pronouncing it like Theo but with an a.

I'd use Cindy or Cinda first--I think they're the cutest.

Other ideas:

Cynthie
Cyn
Cyntha
Thia
Tia
Tee
Cynnie
Cynna
Cia
Chichi
Tita (TEE-tuh)
Inthie
Intha
Inna
Indy
Inda

It's not that I don't like Cindy; Cynthia was my husband's mother's name and she went by Cindy. Although we'd like to honor her, I'd like something that would give my future a bit of individuality within the family. Does that make sense? I like Cinda, even though I can't really say it without saying Cinda-relly!
Cynna is really quite intriguing, as is Tita. Thanks!

I heard of "Cynthi/Cynthy/Cynthie" (SIN-thee) once.

I think I would use Thia which I think is cute. I think she would probably get Cindy anyway knowing my family but it is possible I might also want to use Intha
