My name is
Amanda. My whole family calls me
Mandy. I don't ever recall them using
Amanda. In school my given name was used so all my friends who know me from school call me
Amanda. I have always liked
Amanda better than
Mandy so after school I used
Amanda. So anybody who met me after high school only knows me by my full name. When I became a childcare provider many of the children shortened my name to Miss
Manda. So sometimes at work I became
Manda. This is more like a joke with my co-workers, like how Miss
Kathleen became Miss Kataleen because a child mispronounced it.
I really done mind any of the forms of my name. I just prefer
Amanda.
