About the name Lucinda
Cervantes coined Lucinda for Don Quixote by extending Lucia, and it has been quietly available ever since. It gives you Lucy and Cindy from the same name, which few others manage.
Lucinda is a girl name of Latin, literary origin, pronounced loo-SIN-dah. On the NameRarity scale it scores 63 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1970s.
