WDYT? I think it has a nice ring to it.

It's the name of my awful ex-boss so I think it's awful!

Shinyshoes1 · 24/05/2012 19:33

I don't like it

Hervana · 24/05/2012 19:34

Sorry don't like it-Amanda Holden

Snusmumriken · 24/05/2012 19:34

I love it.

PandaG · 24/05/2012 19:35

means loveable, or worthy of love, so has a good meaning. I don't know any little Amandas, I think it was reasonably popular in the late 60s and early 70s.

noddyholder · 24/05/2012 19:35

Love it

Boggler · 24/05/2012 19:36

Sorry it's awful - it was awful in the 60's & 70's and it still is x

The french version is really nice, but I am biased...

LittlePandaBear · 24/05/2012 21:10

I am one - I never liked it as a child but it's just me now! Don't love it, don't hate it, but I've never met too many so I'm pleased it's not too popular.

StrawberryRoan · 24/05/2012 21:16

I like it.

MarySA · 24/05/2012 21:20

Don't like it at all. Think Amanda Holden. Dreadful woman.

DialMforMummy · 24/05/2012 21:23

Love it.

CaringMum28 · 24/05/2012 21:25

I really like it, never met one. Love Mandy too. Sounds retro 60s!
I was born 1983- all girls seemed to be Gemma, Kate/ Catherine/ Katie, Rebecca and Victoria then Wink

AThingInYourLife · 24/05/2012 21:26

Don't like.

Darkling · 24/05/2012 21:28

I like it but it depends if you also like Mandy as that's what all Amandas I know end up being called.

sparkybabe · 24/05/2012 21:30

Too many Mandy's. As in Mandy lifeboats Grin

I woudn't.

LittlePandaBear · 24/05/2012 21:30

I'm only called Mandy very very occasionally, so don't let that put you off!

HillyWallaby · 24/05/2012 21:33

No.

Oh. Didnt see that one. Quick check tho shows she is on lots of 'baby name' threads, so maybe she just likes the names not the babies!
