Chandra... silky splashes of moonbeams upon the hazy, watercolor pages of an old fairy tale. Chandra is, in my opinion, a godly title wrapped in the cloak of mystery that forever bathes the night sky. As its tantalizing, snowy letters escape the lips, it conjures swirly visions of starlit gardens where moonstruck flowers bloom under the watchful gaze of a lunar sovereign. Like a luminous sylph, Chandra is a worthy denizen of the kingdom of dreams, encouraging dreamers to let their imagination take flight and create from the depths of their soul, passion and helplessness eternally guiding. An ascending nocturne, the overture of the night sky over India... Chandra knows the moon and the stars and everything humans see beauty in.

My name is Chandra and I pronounce it CHAN-dra. I went by my middle name when I was younger because I was aggravated when people didn't pronounce it right. Now I have fallen in love with my name. As I am older now, I love to see all the different variations on how people people pronounce it. I am mixed with African American and European American.

An unfortunate bearer of this name is the late Chandra Levy, an intern at the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Washington, D.C. who was murdered. After her murder, an investigation unearthed an extramarital affair she had with U.S. Congressman Gary Condit, though he was never a suspect in her murder.

In March of 2009, her murderer was found: Ingmar Guandique, who had assaulted other women in the area where Chandra's body was found.
