HelpSandra
Actually I'm asking this for a story I'm writing so I should post on the writing board... anyway, here it goes:
First of all, do you like Sandra? (I'm not gonna change this name but I'm just curious)
Secondly, is Sandra a good nn for Alexandra? Or should it be Alessandra?
Tell me what you think!

It could be a nn for either Alexandra or Alessandra. I like Alexandra better actually because Alessandra got kind of ruined for me. I don't like Sandra very much, never have, and I know a woman named Sandra that I don't like at all. But it is a better nn than Alex.

Sandra
yes, it was a popular name in Germany in the 80s and 90s but now it has fallen completely out of favour. maybe that's why i can't stand it, it seems soooo dated you can't imagine :p

Hehe, that's interesting. I didn't realise that it's not at all popular there anymore!
It's dated here in the UK too, most Sandras I know are friends of my mother :P born in the 50s and 60s.

I don't much like Sandra, because it just makes me think of sand. But it's perfectly fine as a nickname for Alexandra. There's no need to go the Alessandra route.

I don't like Sandra because I don't like its sound and it's very dated in my mind.
Sandra is fine for a nickname for Alexandra or Alessandra.

1. Not really.
2. I think it works for both, but better for Alessandra.

I like it. I prefer Sandra as a name on its own.
