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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!
