Mandy (name)
Mandy can be used as a given name, a diminutive, or a nickname, for both female and male genders. It is often used as a diminutive (i.e., short form, see hypocorism) of the female names Amanda and Miranda, or as a given name in its own right. It is also used as a nickname for the male names Armand, Armando, Mandel, or Emmanuel. Variants, for both male and female, include Mandi, Mady, Mandie, and Manda. Its usage as a popular female name can be traced back to at least the beginning of the 20th century, with the song " Mandy" by Irving Berlin in 1919, and the ''Milly-Molly-Mandy'' series of children's books by Joyce Lankester Brisley in the 1920s. The pop songs " Mandy" by Barry Manilow (1974) and the Irish boyband Westlife (2003) and " I'm Mandy Fly Me" by 10CC (1976) speak to the resurgent popularity of the name in recent times.

Unisex Name
A unisex name (also known as an epicene name, a gender-neutral name or an androgynous name) is a given name that is not gender-specific. Unisex names are common in the English-speaking world, especially in the United States. By contrast, some countries have Naming laws, laws preventing unisex names, requiring parents to give their children sex-specific names. In other countries or cultures, social norms oppose such names and transgressions may result in discrimination, ridicule, and psychological abuse. Names may have different gender connotations from country to country or language to language. For example, the Italian male name ''Andrea'' (derived from Greek ''Andreas'') is understood as a female name in many languages, such as English, German, Hungarian, Czech, and Spanish. Parents may name their child in honor of a person of another sex, which – if done widely – can result in the name becoming unisex. For example, Christians, particularly Catholics, may give a child a s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
