Two Cindys? (And Popular Names by Decade)

[Cindy C.]

Hi, all,

Terry wrote (about the proliferation of Cindys on the main list):

Yep.  Terry's recent TBAY Snape post gave me quite a start there.  I 
was reading along, and suddenly there was talk of a *Cindy.*  A 
Cindy who apparently likes Snape, no less!  ;-)  I scrambled around 
and did a search and figured out that we have a new Cindy.  <waves 
to New Cindy>

I'm Cindy C.  Sin D.C.  Cindysphynx.  Captain Cindy at times.  And 
I'm the one who off-listed with you about the Dell PDA.  (Did it 
arrive yet?)  And no, I'm not insulted!

It's funny, though.  There aren't many Cindys these days, so I 
usually have the name all to myself.  Maybe it's making a comeback?

And now, for something completely different . . . 

When I was in the hospital having my third child, we hadn't settled 
on a name because we didn't know the baby's gender.  We brought with 
us a list of popular baby names by decade, and my husband showed it 
to the labor and delivery staff.  My attending nurse looked at the 
list and was so taken with it that, er, she abandoned *me* and ran 
off with it to show all the other nurses! 

Anyway, according to my research, "Cynthia" was the tenth most 
popular name for baby girls in the 1960s -- the decade in which I 
was born.
