********* Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 We just received an invitation to a friend's wedding. The middle name of the the girl he is marrying is... Candida. I am not kidding. Why, WHY would anyone name their daughter that?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthodox6 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Old, established Latin name. St. Candida is one of the Catholic and Orthodox saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinakel Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 They are die hard fans of Tony Orlando and Dawn? You are probably too young for this reference, but they had a song in the 70's about a girl with that name(if my memory serves me right)...however, :glare:yuck.

Haiku Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I wouldn't do it, but it's not the strangest name I've ever heard. Candida means "white" or "pure." Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if her parents are a fan; they are very, VERY religious, conservative Christians, so unless 'Tony Orland and Dawn' are Christian artists, I doubt it.

Granny_Weatherwax Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I grew up with a friend named Candida. I have always thought it was a pretty name. She was certainly a beautiful girl. We were born in the 70's so smack dab in the Tony Orlando and Dawn era. It's sad that it is associated with a disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know so many young girls with those names, with the exceptions of Cher and Gigi, that it wouldn't even occur to me to think of strippers or drag queens, or to consider them unfortunate. :) Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
