Personal experiences with the name Sandra

My mother's name is Sandra and she was born in the early 60's. My grandfather pronounces is Sahn-druh while everyone else says San-druh. My uncle calls her San and her close friends and close coworkers call her Sandy.

My sister's name is Sandra, she was named after my mother's doll. My grandmother tried to get my mom to name her Alexandra, saying Sandra was only a nickname, but my Mom wouldn't listen. She regrets it now, and urges my sister to have it legally changed. My sister has been called Sandy all of her life.
