I really, really love
Melinda. I'd probably shorten it to
Mel, though, or
Linda. I do not like
Mindy. I mean, I don't hate it, but it's just kind of blah. I think I do prefer it to
Mandy, though. It feels far too cutesy to be a given name.
I think
Mindy can be a short form of
Amanda? Or maybe I'm just making that up.
Other names
Mindy possibly could be a nn for:
