While Sandra and esp. Sandy would tend to make me think of someone currently in her 40s or 50s, it's a pleasant enough names...

Combos to keep:
Sandra Gwendolen
Sandra Violet
Sandra Vivian

---

Other possibilities:
S Noelle
S Estelle
S Laurelle
S Verity
S Kathleen
S Kelsey (to give it a younger feel)
S Midori (token Jpns. pick)

I've loved that name since I was a little girl and named my favorite doll Sandra. I say it SANN-dra, but I think SAWN-dra is okay. SAWN-dra sounds to me like European or it's trying to be European (I'm American).

---

I do think it's dated, but not so dated that it would be ugly on a baby.

---

I probably wouldn't use it myself. Not sure why - just doesn't suit a daughter in this family.

---

I don't really go for Sandy. I think it makes a better nick for a boy named Alexander. But it's okay on the right person. I worked with a woman named Sandy (for Alexandra) - she'd be about 30 now. It was really cute on her. She looked like a Sandy because of her naturally beach-bum-blond hair.

---

I like Sandra Gwendolyn, Sandra Millicent, and I would like Sandra Cleo and Sandra Eve too, if they didn't remind me of Sandra Dee. I don't feel like it goes with most of the more romantic middle names - since it's a short form they seem heavy with it. How about Sandra Lark or Sandra Karen?

---

Although I really like the similar Sandrine, I just can't get into Sandra or the nickname Sandy.

---

Sandra Clementine and Sandra Emeline are fine/nice.

I think it's perhaps a bit dated, I do think of a woman in her fifties or sixties. Sandy is sweet but with it I mostly get an overwhelming connection to Grease. Sandra is a beautiful name and underused anymore. It will be on the (admittedly long) list I present to my boyfriend to narrow down his choices from when the time comes.

I like (*s are especially beautiful)

Sandra Cleo
Sandra Clio*
Sandra Edith
Sandra Eloise
Sandra Eulalie*
Sandra Léonie
Sandra Lilac
Sandra Lillian
Sandra Mabel
Sandra Melusine
Sandra Myrtle
Sandra Penelope
Sandra Violet
Sandra Vivienne
Sandra Wilhelmine

Yeah, Sandra is dated and also incomplete, imo. I'd much rather see it as a nick for Alessandra, Cassandra or even Alexandra. But I'm with you in that I think Sandy is darling.

My mum's name is Sandra (Sandra Lesley) I think it's dated.

I like Sandra Calliope, Sandra Vivienne, Sandra Tiamat, Sandra Petal, Sandra Peony, Sandra Melpomene, Sandra Melusine, Sandra Myrtle, Sandra Opal, Sandra Eveline, Sandra Leopoldine, Sandra Mabel, Sandra Edith, and Sandra Eulalie. I do think it sounds dated... My mom has a friend her age named Sandra (first syllable rhymes with the word sand... I only like it when it's SAHN-dra), and Sandy just reminds me of Grease. Otherwise, I think I'd like it. Either way, I can't picture it on anyone who isn't blond.

It's a pretty name.

Out of your combos, I like these the best:
Sandra Lilac
Sandra Lillian
Sandra Melusine
Sandra Vivian
Sandra Vivienne
