I have a first cousin named
Amanda. She is part of the quiverfull movement (cult) and has ten kids. She could have eleven now. I quit talking to that part of my family. So, all that to say that while I think it's technically a nice name, I associate it with bigoted religious fanatics.
However, when I was a kid, I was really jealous of her name. I so wanted a cool, current (at the time) name, but I was stuck with
Caroline, which did not vibe at all with the fashion of the day.
