What does this name make people think of, is it a controversial choice? I it is pronounced ah-mon-deen.

Beautiful if you’re French and live in France. If you live in the U.K. I’d worry people would tend to pronounce it like Amanda so A-Man-Dine or worse A-Man-Down depending on accent which isn’t anywhere near as nice.

It doesn't sound so good without a French accent. Do you have one or will she be raised there?

Sorry in a Scottish accent that’s going to sound like “a man down”🥴

Nice - very French. I'd probably assume the family had French connections, but it's still fine if not.

What's controversial about it? Confused

It's a pretty French name. I can't see anything controversial about it.
