I find
Amanda plain, boring and common in a
Samantha way, but much worse than
Samantha which has an interesting meaning controversy. I don't like
Amanda one bit, and I hate
Mandy, Manda, Manders (ewwww)... It sounds trashy and unedcuated to me. I also dislike the moms saying "I called my daughter
Amanda because it means "worthy of being loved"". Errr... aren't the other babies worthy of being loved? Cheesy, I tell you... The "a man, duh!" joke doesn't help either.
