I'm eight months pregnant, and I absolutely love the name Amandine [a - man - deen]. It's French and has two meanings : "Who needs to be loved" and "Soul of the Andes".

What do y'all think?

I love French names. I don't particularly like the way that one is pronounced, I like [ah-mahn-DEEN] not A man dean. Sounds like you're talking bout a man named Dean.

I agree with your comment about pronunciation (sp). LOL.

It's not even really 'mahn' in the middle, it's more like am-o(n)-deen, but with the middle syllable 'swallowed' a little, that (n) is nasal and not an English sound.

I do like French names but I detest when they're pronounced badly. As both of my names are French names that English speakers mangle frequently I think I'm entitled to feel this hostility. ;-)

I would like it better if it was pronounced with a long 'a' sound in the middle. If that makes sense :P

i think it's cute but it reminds me of amanda a lot.

original, though.

I think it sounds beautiful. The only downside I can think of is that people will probably shorten it to the common 'Amanda' or 'Mandy'.

Nice name but for some reason, I like it better as a middle name. I don't know but that's just me.

Yeah it has a really pretty meaning, it just really does remind me of like "Green Beans Almondine" or something =/

I love the french language and heritage though, so I do think it sounds pretty.

I love it! Lol, my name's Amanda. I like the way my name sounds but I hate that it's so popular... you probably won't have to worry about that with this name. Very pretty.
