Help[Opinions] Re: Be honest. Give me all the things you think when you hear the name Amanda
in reply to a message by rosanna
Like I share with many people constantly, as a bearer of the name with the nickname Mandy/Mandi (I changed the spelling to an I when I was in middle school as I was one of many and I thought it made it stand out but some of my family members forget so I still accept Mandy), I have a love hate relationship with it. I grew up being born in 1986 when the name was the third most popular name for girls that year. I grew up in 90s. I don't hear it much for girls under the age of 20 so I get pleasantly surprised when I do see it.
Growing up, I was teased a lot with "A-man-duh" which didn't help as well as the fact that the local zoo had a gorilla by that name (I am a brunette so had dark hair on my arms...I think you can see where that goes). That all being said, as an adult I like the versatility of it. Professionally, I tend to go by Amanda as it's easier to translate between languages but between friends and family I stick with Mandi unless specifically I tell work otherwise.
