Amanda: Latin Amanda's Popularity in 2013: #298  After a long
run as the prettiest senior in class, this romantic name has
lost some of its glossy sheen, though it's still quite lovely
and well used. Amanda was one of the romantic-sounding names
that rocketed to stardom in the eighties, along with Samantha,
Vanessa, et al.  Despite its somewhat trendy feel, Amanda is a
certifiable classic--it appears in a play as early as 1694, and
was prominent among saints, eighteenth century literary
heroines,and in plays by Noel Coward and Tennessee Williams. But
if you're looking for a fresher alternative, you might consider
the French Amandine or Shakespearean Miranda.  People who like
