HelpRe: Which "anda"?
in reply to a message by queenv
That's hard. I like both, and they're pretty much equal in my eyes.
I guess I slightly prefer Amanda. The mere possibly of Randi/Randy would be enough to keep me from using Miranda.

You have a point. The possiblity of Randy as a nickname was the only obstacle to my using Miranda. Mandy is a far preferable nickname.

As I said in my original response I've known two Miranda in my life. One of them is called Mirre, and I can't remember calling the other one anything else than Miranda. If she has a nickname, it's Mirre as well.
As for me, I'd prefer Mira or Miri as nicknames.

The only Miranda I ever knew was called Mandy. Actually, she always gave her name as "Mandy Beth Moody Miranda." Her last name wasn't Moody but it rhymed with it.
I don't like Mandy at all, but have only known one or two Amandas who were called it, and that was when we were kids, they started insisting on Amanda once they got older.

I was friends with an Amanda who did that. We all knew her as Amanda and always called her that. Then when I went with her to visit her aunt, her aunt kept calling her Mandy, and that's when I realized that Mandy had been her nickname when she was younger. It was jarring because I just didn't think of her as "Mandy."
