HelpDitto, except Mandie's alright to me (m)
in reply to a message by Soul
I'm also seconding all the recommendations for Miranda, and not just because it's my name. It's a pretty name that's not frequently used, and it does have that Shakespeare connection. I myself wasn't named for Shakespeare, but for the moon of Uranus that was blown up yet came back together again. My mother got the name from a NOVA episode on moons other than Luna.
There's also good ol' Amanda, which actually isn't used all that often anymore. Some people think of "A man, duh" or "Amanda Hugginkiss" (or BtN's own six-month-long ordeal with a semi-troll named Amanda), but strangely I'm not reminded of any of these when I hear the name.
Another possibility's Admiranda, a medieval name that appeared in England in 1231-32 (http://snipurl.com/8wbl). Or you could use Branda, which gains legitimacy imo by being so similar to Brenda. And finally there's Brandy's, another popular 1970/1980s name almost never seen anymore; but it may be thought of as a bit trashy by some--and if you use Brandy, for the love of a dictionary please only spell it Brandy.
