Stephanie is better because a lot of people use that name fu if you say Samantha is a better name
I like Amanda better personally because it's not as common as Lauren. There are 4 Laurens in my grade, and 0 Amandas. Amanda means lovable/worthy to be loved, and Lauren means laurel/laurel tree. However, Lauren may age better. Amanda has more nicknames, such as Mandy and Manda.
Amanda definitely
Amanda or alexa with no i
i personaly think brook is better because Amanda is so ever used...but that's just my opinions i like uncommon names
