If Linda, Lindsay, or Belinda sound too formal, there's always sweet Lindi, a girl's name of British, German, and Spanish origins. Translating to "beautiful" and "tender," Lindi has a trendy side that sets itself apart from other nicknames. Before the floss dance or the mannequin challenge, there was the Lindy Hop, a swing dance style like the jitterbug or Charleston. This trend emerged in Harlem and was all the rage during the swing era of the '30s, '40s, and '50s.
