Mandy

I imagine this name is popular with people in their 40s, it's dated now.

It's a very cute name. It reminds me of Mandii Vee.

My name is Mandy not Amanda. For a long time I didn't like my name but I do now. My aunt would call me Manda when I was younger, but my brother when he was little he couldn't pronounce my name so he would always call me Deedee. Needless to say the nickname stuck but now only a select few people call me that.

Super cute! I like this a lot better than Amanda!

In 2016, my grandparent's dog, Mandy, passed away. I loved her, she was so sweet and friendly! I love the sound of this name, and Amanda, but I prefer this.

My real name is Mandy not Amanda and I have gone through times where I wanted to change my name because I thought it was stupid but I have learned to love my name. I really hate it when people put the stereotype of a spoiled blonde bully who only cares about herself to the name Mandy, especially when I try to be the kindest person I can be, but obviously I'm not perfect. I just want to stop the stereotype of the name Mandy or of any other name (I know people don't mean any harm when the first thought that comes to their head is a spoiled bratty blonde rich girl when they hear the name Mandy).

Man/dy. Don't like it, sounds masculine.

Prefer Amanda.
Mandy sounds Like the word “Manly”
In some children’s book I’ve read years ago, a girl called Mandy was in that book and was picked on because she was babyish, small for her age and her mum was old. Mandy was blond and had plaits in her hair, babyish rabbit glasses and a knitted cardigan with rabbits on, lol.

This is my name and I absolutely hated it growing up. So cutsey and just plain ugly. I hate it more as an adult.

It's my name and I personally love it. To me, it is a youthful name which is fitting for me as at 32 I still get asked for ID to prove I'm over 18. I am far from spoiled, bratty or cheerleader like. I'm a brunette who loves books and nature and very much the opposite of superficial.
The name means "worthy of love" (Latin) which I think is beautiful.

This is my name and honestly, I love it. No, I don't have blonde hair. No, I'm not a cheerleader. No, I'm not a bully (I get bullied by others). I am a tomboy, not girly. I don't get HOW you get that. Think about it: The name Mandy has MAN in it. Why would someone called Mandy bully when they are already bullied?

Just can't seem to get over that it has the word "MAN" in it.. absolutely ugly name and sounds too masculine to be a female name.

My name is Mandy not Amanda or Miranda and I love my name. I am blonde, don't have dizzy best friends, was not popular in school. I don't use the word like a lot. My name isn't the best or most unique but it's a nice name I did get laughed at a lot being called Man and Mandie. But my name is a good name. Don't try and cling a personality to a name. Everyone's different.

It's a nice name. I prefer Mandie though.

My legal name is Amanda but I have been called Mandy my entire life. And some of the comments people have made regarding the name Mandy are just rude & stereotyping. I've encountered all types of Mandy's & Amanda's in my life and all have unique personalities and are different as each of us are. Very sad to place such a stereotype on a name.

My first name is Amanda, although I've been called Mandee as long as I can remember. I hate being called Amanda, mostly because of how common it is. I've personally never met another Mandee (Mandy.)

Mandy can also be a nickname for Miranda.

Sorry to be such a hater, but I can't stand the name/nickname Mandy. One, it's youthful, and two, I just find it ugly. Maaaaandy. Ick. If you want, name your child Amanda and call her Manda. At the most Mandi or something. But Mandy... it just sounds too... dumb. And please don't name your child Mandy! Alternate spellings (Mandi, Mandee, etc) are useful too you know!

I think this is a really cute nickname for the name Amanda.

I just LOVE that name. Everyone with that name is amazing and the name is SO beautiful.

I've been calling my best friend Amanda this since we knew each other (for about twelve years, then, since we were two!) and it works well for her. I think it's a nice nickname or Christian name. Either works well, I think.

My wife's name is Mandy and I think it's a prettiest name ever! Naturally, Amanda too.

Too girly. Should not be used as the official name, and would be better left out of usage by the time the bearer is 20 or so.

My name is Amanda and until I was 14, I was called Mandy. I really prefer Amanda, or the alternate spelling of Mandy; Mandie.

I think it's the cutest name! It can be serious or just really cute and really reminds me of a fun, bubbly person. At first I HATED this name, but now it's like the cutest name ever. And I know a really nice person named Mandy and she does not have blonde hair and would never dream of cheerleading (because I'm not in a place that does that) and always is caring.

I can only think of that "Evil Bratty Cheerleader"-type character (blond, loves make-up and fashion, most popular girl in school, enjoys the suffering of others, sometimes not very intelligent and uses the word "like" excessively) that normally has this kind of a name, with two other best friends that have similar-rhyming names.

I'm sure most Mandys aren't like that, but that is the impression I get from the name. However, I get a completely different impression from the name "Amanda," probably thanks to Amanda Bynes, but I haven't met a redeeming Mandy character (or person for that matter, I haven't met any Mandys).

I find it really ugly.

Urgh... I like Amanda better.

This is one of my favourite names. I think it sounds cute, yet serious. I'll probably call one of my children this when I'm older.

I think it is not a very beautiful name, but the meaning of it is great.

This is a very beautiful name, you are so wrong about that!
