Meaning Comments
- Pure_stone67: This name could mean "defending light" or "defender from Kynthos". Cindy is a diminutive of Lucinda ("light") and Cynthia ("woman from Kynthos"). And Sandra means "defending men".
- Spungebagbob: This name is cool.
- Hellzfury112: I like it. For those insulting it because it sounds like cinders, well "Ashley" has "ash" in it, which is equivalent to "Cinder," but Ashley has gotten plenty of usage, and no one thinks of ashes when they hear it! Robert has "robber" in it, but no one thinks of that either! Cindra is a pretty name. I also like Candra or Kandra.
