Mandy
I like it but I wouldnt name a child it, Dont know why. Anyway I think Of Emmerdale ( A english tv programme set in the country) so it has good views as that Mandy was funny down to earth and a yorkshire lass like myself.
I used to hate it but now I find myself warming up to it wdyt?

It's my nickname (my real name is Amanda). I guess I like it, lol.
I think it's nice. I actually quite like it as a full fn.
My first thoughts upon seeing the name...
Well you came and you gave without takin'
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shakin'
And I need you today, oh Mandy...

I like Mandy as a nn for Amanda or Miranda. I think both Amanda and Miranda have great meanings, so I prefer one of them as formal name.

I like Mandy or Manda as a nn for Amanda. I had a friend named Amanda when I was little and she was really nice, her nn was Mandy.
I don't care for Mandy. It's too nny for my taste and whenever I hear it the lyric "Oh Mandy well, you came and you gave without taking" plays over and over again in my head.

I rather like it too. My friend Amanda is often called Mandy and there was a little girl named Mandy on a TV show I used to watch and there was a book series about a girl named Mandie that I used to read.
I almost like it on it's own without being a nicname (mostly because I dislike Amanda) but if I was to use it as a full name I'd most likely spell it Mandie because it's longer and looks more complete to me.
But to honor my friend Amanda (and family members) I've chosen Amy which I adore! :)

Mandy's the name of my roommate, and because of her, I rather like the name. I didn't before I met her.
She absolutely hates her full name--and I can't say I'm much more fond of it, myself--so I'd use Mandy as a nickname for Amandine or perhaps Amadea. :D
It's not something I'd be likely to use, either, though.

"Phineas. That's an interesting name."
"Yeah. It's Latin for 'kick me'."
