Hello all!
I too am a "Cynthia" & while growing up, I cringed every time I heard my mother call (YELL) out my name because it was my full first, middle & last name... meaning I was "in for it!". My father is from a Mediterranean country & couldn't say "Cynthia" correctly so, it was "Cindy". Not to mention grown-ups, other strangers & the other kids just jumping in to use "Cindy" right off the bat well, let's just say that I have left "Cindy" to my childhood.
Now, I have no qualms about politely, but firmly letting people know that when I introduce myself, my name is "Cynthia", but you can call me "Thia". If they proceed to try & use "Cindy" again, I let them know that I do NOT care for that nickname but prefer "Thia".
Yep, I use "Thia" as a nickname & get many compliments on it; and why not? It's from my name, it's the last two syllables of "Cynthia", same number of syllables as "Cindy" to use. You would not believe some of the strange looks I get from those diehards who keep wanting to use "Cindy" every time I see or talk to them; that's okay, I just use a nickname that they don't like & after a while they get the hint.
Peace be with you all

My mother loved some song "Cindy, oh Cindy" IDK. She was French, Catholic and told that she should give her kid a good "bible" name and my mother named me out of her artistic emotion. Cindy. My birth certificate says Cynthia. But I was always called "SEEENdee" in a French accent. The only females who went by "Cynthia" were snobby, white, bitches in Orange County CA (1980's Reganomics Era).
