Amy is very pretty, but it'd be nice to see Amanda make a come back.
Other names on the same vien
Caroline. Alexandra. Danielle. Melissa. Jillian. Lindsay.

Amy, because I'm an Amee.

Susannah. Jennifer. Julie. Kellie

Amy unless you don't mind the nn Mandy. I don't like it and that's what my DD's friends call her - and she is a Miranda.

Amy.

Amy. Ever since the friends episode with
A-man-duh I can't face the name. I also don't like mandy.

Sorry - neither. So many other lovely girls' names out there. Mum of boys here!

Amy

Amy

Both beautiful, but I would choose Amanda for is rarity value. There are a couple of Girls called Amy at our school but I have never met a child called Amanda and it's beautiful. Makes me think of Almonds and almond blossom.

Amanda just sounds so dated to me, like Sheila or something?

Amy is better, but a bit blah.

Amy is lovely.

Amanda is lovely in full but would probably be shortened to Mandy or Mand.

Aimee - this spelling as I think it looks more complete

I know three Amanda's and none are shortened to Mandy. So its not inevitable.

Amy, wonderful Amy

Amy

Louisa or Helena

Neither. Amy is such a boring name and Amanda has not very attractive shortenings.

Thanks, it's helpful to get some opinions. Also really appreciate all the suggestions

Amanda

Amy.

Amanda is not ready for a comeback. It's very 70s/80s.

Amanda feels a bit 80s. Amy is timeless and sweet without being cutesy.

Amanda. My best friend...never ever Mandy and I've known her since primary school. Such a lovely warm name and a great meaning. I dont class it as dated. Probably because she isnt!

Amy is timeless whereas Amanda feels dated.

Both lovely. Both mean 'loved' or 'loving'.
I prefer Amy.
