Sandra & Tracy
Neither of these bare any resemblance to my first name but I have been referred to by both in recent weeks. At least it makes a change from being called Rachel (also not my name). WDYT of Sandra & Tracy?Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from

For some reason, they're very bland names without any personality to me. I loveeeeee Rachel, though!
Sandra and Tracy both seem drab and dull to me; Tracy especially. I do like Rachel though! And I can't see the resemblance.I'm short. My cousin Margaret is tall. Both with brown hair and green eyes. Very different personalities. She's a few years older than me. And on numerous occasions for about three or four years, when I was late-teens-early-twenties, strangers would stop me in the street and greet me as Margaret. I've never understood that: why it happened at all, and why it only happened then. We only ever saw each other at family functions, and I never asked her if she'd ever been called by my name.
You must have at least three doppelgangers running around.Sandra and Tracy are nice. Sandra is my stepaunt's name, she is in her mid-seventies and goes by Sandy. She's very much a Sandy, pretty and sociable and with a real knack for fixing and making things.Tracy (actually Tracey, I think) was the name of my mother's youngest sisster, who died at only a few months old. It's dated, but it also always feels very youthful to me.
I'm not really interested in these, but I don't dislike them either. I like Stacy more than Tracy.
To me they seem like Gen X or Baby Boomer decade names. I don’t like either.Rachel I do like, and for me it makes me think of someone who is young and sweet.
