Answer: YES, I like my name. It is Greek, and means the moon personified, or mythological goddess of the moon. My nickname, Cindy, means light. Yes, my name has a family history, but my parents didn't know it at the time. My great-great grandmother's name was Cynthia Ann Dines.
Looking back now, I kind of wish my parents would have called me Cynthia. I think it is really pretty and looks pretty written out. And I always wondered why Cindy was spelled with the i first and then the y last since in Cynthia the y comes before the i. I think Cyndi is a better spelling.
