For a boy, there's Mandel (that's actor Mandy Patinkin's real first name; see Mendel in the database), Amando, Amandus, Armand, Armando, Amandino (masc. Spanish and Italian form of Amandine), Mandeep or Mandip, and Normand.

For a girl, there's Mandela (fem. form of Mandel), Amande (French form of Amanda, I think), Amandine, Amandina, Diamanda, and I believe Armande (French fem. form of Armand) too. EDIT: And of course there's Mandisa, as borne by the American Idol gospel singer, but I have no idea how legit that name is.

I agree with Marija Luminitsa there is always Amadine.

However, if you like the name Mandy but don't like Amanda. It has been known that some people actually just use the name Mandy when naming a child. So thats always a thought if this was a name you were considering for a future child or something :)

Perhaps Amandine. :-)
