Cindy is fine.

Cinnamon sounds like a stripper name to me.

No Cindys. It's a terrible name. Cindy Brady, Cinderella, Cindy Williams. Bleh.

It's the name that Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper gave their daughter on Blue's Clues. Do you want your daughter to be named after talking kitchen spices?

I'm actually going to break with the crowd and say that Cinnamon Jones is a SUPERHERO name, not a stripper name. And I think the nickname should be Cinna, but if you feel you have to go with Cindy, fine.

I appreciate everyone's comments, and I did not realize it would be so poorly received!
A couple things:
1. We are high income with some generational wealth as well so I'm not concerned so much about resume issues and being mistaken for a stripper.

2. Our current circle of friends include babies named Olive, Poppy, Aster, 4 Violets, Green, January, Opal and Pippy, real name Persephone. I can't believe DCUM is in uproar about Cinnamon aka Cindy, but maybe we have really "out there" friends and everyone hates their kids names




All much more normal than cinnamon, except for green. Seriously, the kid's name is green?


Yeah, I wouldn't use that circle as a control group. I hope to God that Poppy is a nickname, but Green is just awful. Aster is kind of crappy, too.

Look, OP, if you like it, fine, but people are telling you that they think it sounds stupid. It's a ground bark that people use in baked goods. It does not have a history of being used as a name. People are going to find it odd. If you're okay with that, then use the name.

I was going to suggest Cassia, which is also unusual, is a kind of cinnamon, but doesn't make people think of the spice rack.

"Ugh, OP, no, that's AWFUL!"

"ignore PP, OP. DCUM hates all unusual names that aren't Henry or Katherine."

"Don't do that to your poor kid, OP!"

There will be 6 pages of this thread, about 10 posts a page. Fifty-six posters will say don't do it, four will say go for it."

For the record, I'm in the HELL NO camp.


+1 LOL!! Great summary, and I agree with you!!

As long as you name your second daughter Sugar.

Cinnamon and Sugar - how cute! Growing up, my neighbor had dogs with those names.

If you have a boy, you could name him Toast.

Much better choice.

If you must, use Cinnamon as the middle name.


+1 How about Cynthia Monica, and then Cinnamon as the nn? Or Cynthia Monique?
