I think it's a unique name.
- Personal experiences with the name Mandy
UGH! Wish my mom had named me Amanda instead. As an adult, it becomes uncomfortable in professional situations to have such a young sounding nickname as my professional name.
I love my name. There's not many people that have nicknames for names, and I like that I have one for a name. I've gotten complements on how my name was cute. So, basically I enjoy my name.
