I like [name_f]Mindy[/name_f] a lot but don’t care for [name_f]Melinda[/name_f]. Does anyone have suggestions of other names that could give the nickname [name_f]Mindy[/name_f]? I’m okay with ones that are a bit of a stretch. Thanks! 
[name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Melisande[/name_f]
[name_f]Miranda[/name_f]
[name_f]Milicent[/name_f]
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f]'s always been a favorite of mine. [name_f]Aminta[/name_f], [name_f]Aminda[/name_f], Amadine, [name_f]Minerva[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Minna[/name_f], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Amity[/name_f] all may work (to varying degrees). [name_f]Mindy[/name_f]'s a cute nickname.
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] is the only one I can think of that isn’t already mentioned.
[name_f]Jasminda[/name_f] like Bend it like [name_m]Beckham[/name_m]!
My name is [name_f]Melinda[/name_f] and [name_f]Mindy[/name_f] is my family’s nickname for me. 
I love my name and nickname.
I think [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] would be perfect as an alternative for [name_f]Mindy[/name_f]'s full name.
Apparently [name_f]Mindy[/name_f] is also short for [name_f]Amanda[/name_f]
