A conundrum indeed. I have an Amanda in my tree, but records other than birth show as Mandy ........ I wonder how many of us confuse people by using a shortened version as our official name. I do but I changed mine by deed pole - not that that will help ancesters in the future lol.

Hello Mandy goodbye Amanda.

Gets confusing doesn't it.

I know from my e-mails though where people are contacting me from because I use different names on different sites.
It helps me or I'd be lost! you know those Blonde/Senior moments.
I would struggle with a name change.
As I am really Patricia and was forced into changing my name on here years ago as there are rather a lot of us.
I get called Pat.....Tricia...... Patty..... Patsy...... and Tosh in the real world by different relations.
Think I'll stick with Tricia on here for now LOL

So Mandy bye for now
Tricia xx

Susan......it's funny you should mention Milly Molly Mandy . My Mum was a Molly and her Grandmother was an Amelia ( Milly ).

Muffy , I happen to like that Barry Manilow song as well : )

Mandy : )
