A friend of a friend on facebook has a baby named Amandarina nn. "Mandy".
I don't care for it.
It's long and feminine, but frilly and overly long do not equal pretty... and it sounds way too singsong and made-up. I look at it, and the word 'mandarin' stares back at me and I think 'why?'. I mean, I really don't like Amanda, but at least it looks vaguely sensible. I loathe the name Mandy too...it sounds like a brainless 80s babysitter in a bad horror film.
Of course, I'm being too harsh, aren't I? There are worse names out there.
What do you think?
