Excellent kitten name. Not human, though.

It defantly couldn´t be used where I live because everyone know´s the story of cinderella but I think in other places it probly could but I personaly wouldn´t use it.

Samurai would commit seppuku (Japanese ritual suicide) than want to hear someone call their daughter Cinderella. I would call it unusable for all eternity.

I met a little Cinderella...

..she was in a Homecoming pageant with my daughter. I think it's horrid, just considering the fact that the name was meant to belittle the girl on whom it was placed. Not my thing...at all.

Gurl, you crazy? ;)

Potentially yes. Should it be? No.

I kind of like it. Not for a real child, but think about the nns:

---

Ella
Drell
Cindy
Ashley, lol

Cinderella could be used with a brave child and a nice nickname (not Ella.)

It's probably on here because of the strong literary association.

I've seen this on a lot of (old) birth records for Romani. Unfortunatly the site that kept these records is no longer working or I'd link to it. So I would use Cinderella only in a period Romani story.

Could be? Yes. Should be? That's up to you to decide, though I don't know that I'd wish to choose a name that means "little ashes".

I think people would think you were joking if you said your child's name is Cinderella. But, it's a well known name in literature, which is probably why it's here.
