We got Mandie from a couple who decided they didn't have enough time with their new work schedules to take care of her (she was only 3 1/2 lbs and 4 months old at that time). Her name from them was Sophie. I, actually, loved that name and wanted to keep it but hubby thought it was too Ritzy sounding for us country folk lol.
I told him to think of names and call me when he thought of something. The phone rang and he said "Candie or Mandie?" I was outside at work so I started calling both names I like I was calling her to me. I fell in love with Mandie as a name.
So, her "barely" almost other name was Candie. Her real other name was Sophie
