The name Amanda, in masculine Amando, comes from the confluence of two names.

Some scholars believe that this name Amanda was invented by the 17th century British playwright Colley Cibber, who gave it to a character in his play 'Love's Last Shift'. Noel Coward later named Amanda in "Private Lives".

I remember all my life

Raining down as cold as ice

A shadow of a man

A face through a window

Crying in the night

The night goes into Morning, just another day

Happy people pass my way

Looking in their eyes

I see a memory

I never realized

How happy you made me, oh MandyWell you came and you gave without taking

But I sent you away, oh Mandy

And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking

And I need you today, oh Mandy.Mandy - Barry Mailow

Another famous song by Amanda is that of Victor Jara, a beautiful song that talks about two workers. I remember you Amanda

The wet street

Running to the factory

Where Manuel worked The wide smile

The rain in his hair

Nothing mattered You

were going to meet him

With him, with him, with him, with him, with him

So yeah my name is Amanda. I am 15 and yeah just like all other Amanda's I went through the A-MAN-DUH stage too. But lucky for me people have grown up. I still dont really like my name but its what my mom gave me so Im keeping it. But I do have many nicknames. People call me Mandaline. Mandalynn. Mandalin. Mandi. Mandiish(concidering I speak my own made up language called Mandiish) Manda Panda. Manda Banana. Manderine. Alot of things. So if your name is Amanda and you dont like it just think your name could be worse. And since our name is old not many people have it anymore. Did you know Amanda means loveable and daughter of god? It also means god angel. So enjoy your name. <3

hi. my names amanda, like everyone else commenting. i never really had a problem with my name. in 3rd grade i wanted to change it to alyssa, but just cuz i love that name. i hate the nickname mandy when i was a kid, but now people call me it all the time and i love it, but they spell it mandi. when ever I'met new people, they always asked me "oh, do you get people saying A-MAN-DUH! all the time?" and the truth was no. when i was little, I'might have gotten it once in kindergarden in my first year of elemetary school, but really no one did that. UNTIL RECENTLY!!! im in 7th grade, 13 years old. i have a huge crush on this kid, and im not sure how but all of a sudden, like a week ago, him and his friends will not quit doing it. it bothe's me. i dont care if its someone else, but not the kid i like. i really need a new come-back for it, but i dont know. thats the only thing i hate about my name, but other than that, i dont feel its too bad. its just common, and of course i love some names way better, but i can live with it for now :P lol <3

In regards to any trans people considering this name: it has the word "man" as part of it, you may want to avoid that. (A man, duh!) Most Amandas I have met were gossipy and all about the drama, or had very loud personalities, thus ruining the name for me.

I seriously don't understand why anyone would name a child this. I think It's a silly sounding name. It's like panda or bandana. It's just an overeused name from the '80s. If anyone is intent on an A name, I'much prefer the more sophisticated and feminine Ava or Alexandra.

Amanda is very good name to have, my sister is called Amanda. However, its unfortunate that it can be fragmented into funny but quizical jokes as well as be used in rhymes (e.g. "Amanda the Panda" - I think its cute but she'scorns it!), I think its outright rude to have silly [fictional?] products named after Amanda (e.g. the Amanda Doll)... Amanda is good name, just too shall I say- popular?

My dh and I have always loved the name Amanda, and saved it for a daughter. When we adopted our baby girl from China, we chose Amanda Li, because it means "beloved and beautiful". We were told (by those who named our baby the morning they found her at the orphanage gate), that her Chinese name also means,"beautiful and 'hopes that'she'll be loved'". While Amanda might seem like a common name, she'll always know that it wasn't given'to her by accident! As far as nicknames, since Amanda seems so elegant for a little baby, we sometimes call her Manda Li or Panda Li or Manda Panda, but Mandy just doesn't fit her. I hope she doesn't hate her name when she's older.

My name is Aman-DUH too! I think It's very feminine and pretty. I love the meaning and the fact that no one misspells or mispronounces it but it is common. And anytime someone says we have a mandatory meeting I almost think they said my name. My husband calls me Manna and I think that's cute :)

Okay , Uhmm My name is Amanda . And Tell you the truth. I am 13 now. And of course when you were younger , every kid wants to change their name. I'mean I did also. And yes there are kids in my classes that call me A-Man-DUH. But I changed my mind again. I like my name. I like it because it is original. And I also like it because My Wonderful mom gave me that name. (:

Ok well my name is Amanda and i like my name. As for you who say that "a man duh!" is funny, its not its stupid... making fun of someones name is like making fun of someones race... they didnt choose it... and if you make fun of there name, whats so perfact about yours? you may be joking, but no matter what, its never ok to say somthing that goes against the way someone else is... unless your name is amanda also, because you know then know what it feels like... otherwhize keep your mouth shut! its not funny, its not nice... its annoying!

My name is Amanda. I think everyone has their name made fun of. I like being named Amanda. It's common enough that people don't think It's freaky but It's not as boring as some of the other common names out there (like Sarah or Nicole). I only like being called Amanda or Manda. I hate Mandy, It's too "American cheerleader" for me (I'm an Aussie girl). Best thing is it never gets spelled incorrectly which would annoy me so much if I had another name!

My name is Amanda, as a young child I was called Mandy. I didn't like it much, It'sounded condescending and cutesy. I just wanted to be taken seriously. I'moved areas in my early twenties and always introduced myself as Amanda, and that is what I am known as now. I never had that Aman-duh thing, I live in England and we just dont pronounce it that way. Some say Amander. That makes me chuckle!

My names Amanda. When I was younger I didn't really like my name but now that I have grown up a bit, I have decided I actually quite like it. When I was in school, I used to get called A-man-duh alot. That was so annoying!! Nicknames that my friends have given me are manda or mand. My mum calls me panda. I only know four people (including myself) with the name Amanda. I also like my name now because Ive found out the real meaning for it, 'She who must be loved'.

I think I'might like the name Amanda if I hadn't been carrying it around all my life. I like names that mean something, and Amanda is a Latin gerundive which is usually translated as "worthy of love" though a more literal translation is "one who should be loved." While this name definitely needs to be retired for a few years, I think it will be pretty to use again in a generation or two.

my name is also Amanda, imagine that! Growing up I really didn't like it, kids made fun of is a lot by saying, "Hey look! It's Aman-Duh!" But i guess you get use to things like that after a while. My name is very common I would imagine that everywhere I go there is a least one to two people that are saying the name Amanda but not talking to me. I guess one gets use to that after awhile also. I do like my name, It's mine after all, but when I have children I don't think that I would name my child a name that is so common.
