Re: Which "anda"?
in reply to a message by queenv
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."
