I was Sandy in high school then switched it in college to Sandra. I get the "Saundra" pronunciations every once in awhile which I think is fun. People do like to default to Sandy. I usually tell them I used that in high school but not now. Sometimes they still ignore that request and use it, not sure why. I was born in 1972 and rarely meet another female with my name, but You're out there. Never asked my parents if there was a Sandra Dee link to the name choice, probably. I'd love to be Alexandra though, It's a very strong and beautiful name. Overall my feeling about the name'sandra is very positive.
My best friend is named Sandra and she is nice but has attitude! We met in second grade in January. We go to school in September but she came in late January as a new student. I say thumbs up!
I am named Sandra Jean. I hated my name as a kid because I was the only Sandra in my school. Like a lot of other posters, I hate to be called "Sandy". Sandy is the name of Orphan Annie's dog! My best friend insisted on calling me Sandy, so I let it go, but no one else did. I think It's a great name now. Just don't call me Sondra. That's some misguided effort to make it cross cultural. When compared to all the Kaylas, Brooklyn's and Apples, It's a pretty fine name. Thanks, Mom.
My name is Sandra, and I LOVE my name!! Just thankful my name Isn't Martha or Annie..
My name is Sandra Kay. I have always loved my name. I was born in 1960 & see that is in the very time that it was most popular. When I was a child I was called Sandy. When I started to school my daddy encouraged the use of Sandra. I wish I had asked my parents why they chose that name for me!
My Dad named me ❤️Sandra Lee❤️. I was born in 1972. Sandra probably came from Sandra Dee and she resembled my Mom. Lee was after Robert E Lee, very common in the'south. I have always liked it and I like its meaning. Special that my Dad cared enough to name me - it is something about me he liked. Went by Sandi in hs and college. Once working I used Sandra. Have lived in several states. It is a more popular name in the'south where I was born. Has always been pronounced SANDra. Wish it was SONDra because I think It'sounds prettier.
as a kid my nickname was Sandy, left home at 18, call me Sandra (sand-ra), not Sondra or Saundra, middle name Dee, (how un-original), born 1972; now I embrace my name, uncommon, like me, good strong name. wonder how It'sounds to othe's❤️
My name is Sandra and I have always loved it. As a child & teenager I was called Sam, never wanted to be called Sandy. Now I am just Sandra and that's fine with me. There still aren't many Sandra's around. I have young children and never hear the name at the park. I think people should start using the name. Much simpler than the much more popular Alexandra.
this is my name. i do like it. but whenever'someone new is reading my name they say it wrong. they pronounce it CAT-LYN. as in a cat. but its KATE-LYN. so that gets old after awhile. but i really like the fact that there are millions of caitlins out there, and my name is different.
my mummy's name is sandra, my pop called her'sandy, I'm naming my son Xander after her :)
My Gma's name is Sandra. She loves it & is a very joyous person. She also hates to be called Sandy. (she feels it Isn't "hip enough) lol ^_^
my name is sandra and It's really cool. i hate being called SANDY i preferr SAN. its much better (H)
I have always liked my name and has served me well over the years. I was born in 1969 and this was a nice fashionable name by then. There was always at least one other'sandra in my class at school. Then I'moved to The Netherlands at age 20 and my name proved to be just as popular, though I have held onto the English pronunciation SAAN-dra as Dutch sounds so harsh.
I love my name, but i hate it when people spell it like Saundra or something like that. it drives me crazy, I'mean that is how you say it but that's now how you spell it
Sandra is a great name, a derivative of Alexandra. My family calls me Sandra, and my friends call me Sandie. Some call me Sandra Sue, some Sandra Lee, neither of which are my middle name. They just think the names go together. i've always liked my name, and my middle name is Marleen. Neither name is very common. Though more so when it was given'to me than it is today.
My name is Sandra. I'm called Sandy, or Sanny, or San San. I'means helper of mankind, and I became a nurse. Coincidence❤️ I don't think so. Every person I ever met with the name'sandy has been a kind, loving person.
I'm Sandra as well. Since recently i've been pronouncing it as Sondra (not SAND-ra). Nowadays it is only family and folks who know me from way back in grade school will call me Sandi. Love my name, which btw means "Helper of Humanity".
Sandra for a boy❤️❤️❤️ That's.... weird..... Don't name your child this or they will be bullied a lot.
My name is Sandra and I like it and prefer that people call me Sandra instead of Sondra. However'some people insist on calling me Sondra and I do not understand why.

My name is Sandra Jean. didn't care for it at all growing up. All through school I told people My name is Sandra. If my mama wanted me called Sandy she would have named me Sandy." Well, I'll be 55 next week and I'm perfectly happy with my name. Over the years i've come to be known as Sandy to pretty much everyone (except my mama) and I'm fine with that too.
This is my 5 year old sons name. I love the name, but I can'tell he gets frustrated when people call him Alex, which happens a lot.

My mother's name is Sandra. I think that my grandmother wanted it to be pronounced as "Saundra" but they spelled it wrong on her papers and she thought it would be confusing... She goes by Sandy.
My name is Sandra Lea (Lee). One parent wanted to name me Alexandra. One did not. My mother thought most would call me Alex and she did not want that for a girl. They decided on Sandra. Legally is use Sandra, but friends call me Sandy, which is great. It is informal. I am not one to stand on formalities, unless absolutely necessary.
It's my name and I love it!!! Even'though most poeple call me Sandy - my family still calls me Sandra (we pronounce It'sondra)...
That's my name and I pronounce It'sau-ndra or Sondra. My middle initial is "D" so I too received jokes during the "grease" era. Look at me I'm Sandra D....lol! I was named after my aunt and my sister named her daughter'saundra so now there are 3 of us! 1 for each generation in my family.
My name is Sandra. I was called Sandy my whole life. When I became a diplomat and moved to London, I told people my name was Sandra. Of course the BrIt'sh always called me Saundra which I hated. Was born in 1962. Never like my name until now. Happy with my name and don't care if people call me Sandra or Sandi.

HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT! First of all, being born in 1981, my parents gave me this name WAY too late. Also, It's pronounced Sondra. I understand when people pronounce it "Sandra" as that IS the way It's spelled, however, PLEASE PLEASE don't make the jump to "Sandy" --- UGH!!!
My name is Sandra and most people call me by that name. Sandy is my Nick name and I don't mind It either however I hated it when I was under 14. I was born in the early 70s and the name was not common in Australia. Well I don't meet too many people with the name now, however I did come accross a few growing up. Sandra is a great name I can't complain.

I am 50 yrs old and called Sandra. Being from the'south of England, It's pronounced as Sarndra. I have always thought it a bit plain,so I neither love or hate it. Always preferred my second name Elizabeth. Sandra was very popular in the'sixties when I was born.
I was named after my Grandmother's best friend who accompanied her via ship from Poland to Ellis Island 1905 at age 16 ( her best friend's name was Alexsandra Polish derivative of Alexandra ) I am very proud I am a survivor of my family who survived the Holocaust I have survived many trials and am still standing! Starting to thrive again
Hated the name as a child in the 70's and much preferred Sam or Sandy nicknames. Grew on me over time and learned to actually like my name in full, Sandra and preferred it over nicknames. It's San-dra. Do not like the "Sondra/Saundra" pronunciation at all!
My name is Sandra... I was born in the 80's but people always associate the name with someone much older than me :-P It's always been pronounced SAND-ra (not Sondra) and I go by Sandi for short. I didn't like my name throughout most of the'school years, but now I realize it was much better than getting lost in the crowds of Jessica and Melissa ;-)
i've had the name for 56 years and I love it. I'm called Sandy which is perfectly fine with me. SANDRA sounds too formal and I am not a formal sort of gal.

My name is Sandra Sue. I love my name and prefer the more familiar Sandi from friends. In fact, I know I'm in the company of friends when'they address me as Sandi. I think my parents named my first name'sandra after the'sandra Dee that was popular in 1963 and Sue after my father's Aunt Sue. Sandra is a great name.
