Amanda Renee...I hated it when I was younger and was always called Mandi (with an i darnit!), but after my husband said it the first time, I started liking it. When I signed up for college, I signed my full name and when they called it in class the first time, my friend beside me had to punch me so I'd answer roll call.
My maiden name was German and hard to pronounce, so it was always easy to tell if I wanted to talk to the person calling on the phone. I like(d) the name, mostly because I have great respect for my dad, uncle, grandpa, etc that carry the name.
I mostly go by Mandi, or Mando. That's what my closest family and friends call me.
