I really like
Amanda. I know it's been overused in the 80s but it still sounds fresh to me, probably because most of the Amandas I knew always went by
Mandy. I dislike
Mandy, but I like
Amy as a nickname for it. I also love the meaning. I like
Amandine as well. What do you think of
Amanda and
Amandine? Does
Amy work? Is
Mandy avoidable? (I know I can't do anything if she decides to go by it, but with
Mandy sounding so dated I doubt that she would).
