The sudden and high peak of Mindy in 1979 can be attributed to Mindy McConnell, one of the eponymous characters of the American sitcom "Mork & Mindy", which first aired in September 1978. The show was at its most popular during its first season (1978-1979), after which it steadily declined in viewership and thus popularity. You also see this reflected in the name popularity statistics for the name Mindy, in that it is clear that the novelty of Mindy wore off *very* quickly after its 1979 peak.

I like the name Mindy. It's the name of my mom's best friend and she's really cool and fun. She's 37 years old. She's one of the people who accepted me for who I am, and made me feel welcome. She would do anything for anyone and would give you a shirt off of her back. I don't know many Mindys. I think it's an artsy kind of name, I think of an artist or painter for some reason. Like Misty but I like it more. Nice alternative to Wendy as well if you want a different name (I love Wendy, though). Mindy doesn't seem "dated" but it also does. I like that.

Ugh. Childish, and just not a good name. It would be hard to take an adult woman seriously with such a cutesy little girl name. However it would possibly work for a small dog like a Yorkie or Chihuahua.

My sister is Mindi. That is her full first name on her birth certificate. It's never given her any grief.

Didn't know this was a nickname for Melinda. Sounds too immature to use as a given name.

My name is Mindy. As a kid I always wished that there was an easy nickname from it, but since it’s already used as a diminutive, there’s not much room to shorten it, and I’ve never been too fond of “Min”. I think my name suits me, but I feel like most people make the name, not the other way around. For example, I’ve heard many people say they’d never name their child a certain name, because someone they didn’t like had that name. As far as people making fun of it, it’s really not any more likely than any other name. Mean kids will find something to make fun of, no matter what. That’s just life.

My formal name is Melinda but I've always gone by my "nickname" Mindy. I've never been fond of Mindy. It reminds me of a little kid's name. Cute but immature. I can't picture myself working in a corporate position with the name Mindy. I would much rather be called Melinda. I don't like Melinda much either but at least it sounds more mature. For years and years I didn't like Robin Williams because he co-starred with Pam Dawber in the popular 1980's sitcom Mork and Mindy. I think I was in 1st grade when the show came out. I was constantly asked "Hey Mindy, where's Mork?" Grrr!

I'm now nearly 40 and still go by the name on my birth certificate : Mindy.
I love having an unusual name, and feeling quite satisfied where I am in life I am also quite happy to report that having such a name hasn't prevented me becoming successful (but I guess that success means different things to different people).
I agree that 'Mindy' sounds 'young', perhaps this will make sure I don't grow in to a grump!
Strangely enough one of my sisters is named Melinda and neither of us were aware of the connection between the names until recently.

My name is Melynda but I go by Mindy. I'm 35 years old and though the name sounds young, it's the only one of the two that fits me. Plus, my real name has a long negative history attached with it. I've enjoyed being a Mindy. We're not very common and, more often than not, Mindy's seem to be very cool people! I enjoy being a Mindy. The End.

I like it. It reminds me of a garden of lovely fresh mint. I love the taste and aroma of mint. Mindy seems sweet yet spunky. I would be sure that the child's second name is a bit more formal and traditional. Mindy is a bit out of fashion at the moment, but, so what? It is a very suitable name.

Mindy can also be short for Amanda. Richard Hammond's wife, Amanda Ethreridge, is known as Mindy. Personally I adore Mindy, I think it's very sweet, and makes me think of a girl who's graceful, smiling and compassionate, but I don't like it as a full name on a birth certificate. It's a cute diminutive, and it should stay that way. For me, it's almost like giving her Paigie or Louisie or Minakins as a legal name. At least put Amanda or Miranda on her birth certificate, so she can have something to fall back on when she's an adult. You can still call her Mindy if her name is Amanda. Imagine a teacher bellowing "Mindy!" or the girl filling in a job application as "Mindy". Use Mindy as a nickname, just that.

It's sort of cute, but too cute for a grown-up, and too cute as the official name. It doesn't sound very mature or serious. Besides, this was Leona Helmsley's middle name. Ugh!

I don't think I would ever use this name myself. But other people might. It just seems like some one might tease her and call her, "Minty".

Mindy is my cousin's name and I personally don't like it or hate it; we mostly call her Cindy Lou because she always used to complain that she was the Cinderella around the house, doing all the work and whatnot. Almost everyone has "Lou" or some form of it in their nickname. No, we're not hillbillies.

The name Mindy also comes from the Indian word Minda which stands for knowledge. It's not just a nickname; it has its own meaning.

Mindy can also be a short name for Miranda, Minerva, Jasmin and a few others. But it suits more as a nickname for Miranda, definitely. But I don't really like it because it sounds too cutesy, like a name for a raggedy-ann doll or something.
