Manda

Manda is a Latin name, the short form of Amanda, and a vowel away from being Barry Manilow's favorite girl's name. All three mean "lovable" and are some of the oldest names to remain consistently popular through the centuries. Records show that Amanda first showed up in England in the early 13th century and began to spread their wings. Even as late as the 1990s and 2000s, Amanda was everywhere in Hollywood, from Peet and Holden to Bynes and Seyfried. Manda's lovable nature means the name will remain ubiquitous but also much-loved.
