I've been looking up names for some of the secondary characters for my Queen of Swords fic, and came across in entry for 'Amanda':
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Finnish
Pronounced: ə-MAN-də (English), ah-MAHN-dah (Spanish, Italian) [key]
Created in the 17th century by the playwright Colley Cibber, who based it on Latin amanda meaning "lovable, worthy of love". It came into regular use during the 19th century.
