ArchivesKandy + Carsten
Hiya,
Kandy: a friend of mine in Berlin is named Kandy. He told me it's a common American name for men, too. I didn't find it in your list. Only with a C and thats the female name. Where can I find out about his name then?
My own name is Carsten and in your list I didn't exactly find information where it's coming from. I know that much, there was a god called Christianus (or Christianius) which was some god to protect you in the war or the fight. You might wanna check that out and put it in your list, too.
Regards
Carsten

Your friend in Berlin was either mistaken or having you on when he told you that "Kandy" (or even "Candy") was a common American name for men. According to the U.S. Social Security Administration's statistics, there would have been less than 4 boys (if any at all) born on U.S. territories and named "Kandy" or "Candy" last year.
There were, however, born on U.S. territories last year...
109 girls named Candy
24 girls named Candi
23 girls named Kandy
11 girls named Kandi
8 girls named Candie
Because of its obvious associations with femininity and "sweetness", the name "Kandy" would be a rather embarrassing name for an American male to bear. I don't even know of any gay American men who would wear that name openly, unless it was for some kind of joke or if they were in a female impersonation act.
As for a pagan god named "Christianus"... That's a new one on me. The very concept seems contradictory. Perhaps you were thinking of the "Miles Christianus" ("Christian Soldier") concept? The Miles Christianus was a sort of archetype created by Christian writers around the 16th century and meant to embody all the virtues held highest by the Church -- most important of all being blind obedience to the Church.

I have to agree with Nan.... I have never heard of a guy named Kandy before let alone a girl who isnt a stripper named Candy! No offense to anyone!!! In th US Candy is mostly a strippers name, there are a few people who are actually named that but not many!
If a guy was named Kandy they would probably change it because they would be made fun of!!!
Sorry your friend was misinformed!!
