[Rocky89]

Hey guys, the 3rd annual Shorty Awards are back, so let's get our Amanda nominated this year. And best of all, they're are several categories to choose from and you can nominate in any of them. So, let's do this for her. http://shortyawards.com/

Hey! There is another Wood nymph here
Silvia was most popular in the year 1974 (#497), is currently ranked # 992 in U.S. births (ow well, I'm not American )
My mum chose that name 'cause her dad was called Silvio

Ah, there is a very famous Italian poetry called "A Silvia" by Giacomo Leopardi (but I hate it cos I'm DEAD in it! )

Wood nymph! Wood nymph!

No, was it not that it was her Grandma's special name for her, so Amanda doesn't like anyone else to use it or something like that. I'm sure I read/heard that somewhere.

That's sweet.

There are various nicknames for my name, but I don't like most of them. I often have tell people I don't like the one they usually pick.

I wonder what Tapping Tuesday...Thursday? questions she'll answer.

I don't do twitter but if I did, I might ask something about clothes. In the commentary for Kali she said she didn't like the way the dress fit or wore over the day or something. I thought it looked fine, though. I wonder if there are other outfits Helen wears that *we* think are cool but *she * didn't like?

Also--when does Helen get time to shop?

was chatting with friends last night and somehow we got onto the topic of what names mean and started looking up a bunch of names... we all agreed that amanda's is very fitting!

I looked up some of the names in my family, and came up with:

Janice - God is Gracious (yep, that's me alright)
Margaret - Pearl (my middle name, and my Mom's name)
Glen - wooded valley (my Dad)
Judy/Judith - from Judaea (my other sister)
Carol - form of Charles (my sister)
Bruce - from the town of Bruis (my brother)
Anna - Gracious, Merciful (my Aunt)
Bernard - Bold as a Bear (my Uncle)
Tiffany - Appearance of God (my niece)
Miranda - Admirable (my grandniece)

According to the 1990 United States Census, Janice ranked as the 66th most popular female first name.

Thanks Celandine and Hisg1fans. They both look great, and they mean a lot.

There was a funny story about when she was cast. when they do casting, they have casting agents that usually get it down to a dozen or less potential actors (that's if they do an open call), or if they have a short list and get it down to that handful, then they do screen tests with the producers and existing stars of the show. In this case it was Rick and Brad and Jon Glassner i think (rick i know for sure) and amanda was there with the other potential Sam's, and she stands next to rick and he goes 'so, can i call you mandy?' and her reply 'only if i can call you dick'

she got the job

actually, if i'm remembering right, rick asked if he would call her babe, and that's why the snarky 'dick' reply happened. (i think i'm remembering right)

was that the one where she talked about picking hte linen dress and then regretting it as filming progressed?

[Lucycat]

Either way, it's a funny story! I love hearing those anecdotes!

Was that at the audition? I thought Rick said something along the lines of "Can I call you Mandy?" and Amanda said "Only if I can call you Dick".
Not sure if I read it or if it was on a special.

99.44% certain he asked if he could call her babe.

"He read a line (at her final audition) and asked me, 'What do ya think, babe? You don't mind if I call you babe?' I said, 'No, if you don't mind if I call you Dick.'
