About Mindy
This sweet nickname style name combines contemporary Indy with vintage Minnie. Popular in the 80s, it fell out of style by the mid-90s, but, with the likes of Annie, Edie, Ellie, Bonnie and Heidi getting more attention, could Mindy make a comeback?
Mindy could also be a short form of Mindel, Miranda, Mahinder, and Maninder, and is notably born by actress, comedian, and screenwriter Mindy Kaling.
Mindy is also given to boys.
Pronounced MIN-dee.
As of October 2026, Mindy ranked #4721 in US births in 1986 SSA, peaked at #3763 in 1978.
