HelpWell, since it is my name...
in reply to a message by Lily8
I do like it in spite of the fact it was super trendy when I was born. I have known over 40 others with my name (being a name nerd, I kept a list). It is a bit of a drag having such a common name when I am working. I currently work with three other Amandas. One time there were five of us. All of the other Amandas I know are in their 20s. Honestly, I have known my fair share of dim Amandas, so I can understand why others can see it as a flimsy name.
My nickname is Mandy, so that is what I am used to, but only with family and close friends. I suppose I can handle Amy as a nickname but I see it as an entirely seperate name as well. I really dislike Manda. Nobody ever tries to call me Mandy instead of Amanda if they don't know me, so I think it is safe to say that people won't force the nickname.
I understand your issues with "a man, duh." I'm used to my name, so it doesn't bother me much, yet I think it sounds better in languages other than English.
I love Amandine too. I've never met one.
