I also pronounce Cassandra the same way as Cah-lahn-dra. I say Cah-sahn-dra.

Yes I pronounce Calandra as Ca-LAWN-druh like Cassandra with an L. Everyone seems to be in agreement about that. I've known two Calandra's and I personally think that the name is BEAUTIFUL. The other Calandra's that I've known, however, pronounce their names Ca-LAN-druh. I don't think it's the correct pronunciation, but I may be wrong. I just don't think it's as flattering as the other way. Also, I have always thought this name would make a good sibling set with Melina.Calandra and Melina just sound like sweet little sisters to me. :)

That is so weird that you said that bc my someday sister in law is expecting and she's having a girl and she so far has picked out Melina (not sure on how she's spelling it though). So that is just strange that you said that name. LoL
