yes, for some reason this is a constant topic lately...I don't like the name Amanda at all. It screams 80's to me and just seems... young, or something.

Agree very 1980s:)

A similar thread to thishttp://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=96385&board=babyJust pointing this thread out.Personally, I'll reiterate that I like the name Amanda, despite our troll. I'll add that I think it's sweet and feminine, but not frilly. It's very old too (first appeared in 1221, probably), which for me adds a lot of substance and charm.'Course, my liking of it may come from its resemblance to my own name, which I like very much. ;-)MirandaEDIT: Clarified last sentence

Why is is that everyone keeps asking about this name lately.Personally I don't particularly like Amanda, Mandy isn't bad, but too nicknamey

I seriously dislike Amanda. The name has visual appeal to me, but the sound of it and all associations I have make it a bad name for me. I would never name my child Amanda.:)

Okay, I might be the only one, flying solo here, but I HATE the name Amanda. The name just turns me off, I gag. I dont find it attractive, I dont like the look of it, the sound of it, or the feel of it. Its just all wrong. I did meet a Manda over the summer (not Amanda, but Manda as her full name), and I liked that. So maybe its just that extra A.And, every Amanda I know is/was a real problem child. So no, I would NEVER use it.
