Subject: Probably the medieval site

Reply to: origin of Amanda by Narinoc
Oxygen.com's Babynamer (a reasonably accurate site which is the exception to the rule of "avoid name sites with the word 'baby' in the title") also mentions the 13th-century citation (although they say the citation occurs in 1212, rather than 1221--this could be a transposition error) in their entry of Amanda: http://snipurl.com/8l3k.

I love that medieval names site, btw. It has Admiranda, which I theorise could be another way Shakespeare could've gotten Miranda.
