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 girlfriend’s name is Chandra. I am very in love with her, and it’s a beautiful and unique name for a beautiful and unique person. I think anybody lucky enough to bear the name Chandra should be happy to have it.
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.
In "Magic: The Gathering", Chandra Nalaar is the primary red planeswalker. Red magic represents the chaotic and emotional aspect of magic. Chandra is a true rebel, a pyromancer who rebels at any rules or authority.
My name is Chandra. I pronounce it like it is spelled and have always dearly loved my name. Nicknames I have had: Chan-Chan, Chandy, Chanski, Chan, Channy, and Cheener.
My name is Chandra! It's a cool name and my teachers think it's very interesting. I'm surprised that some actors and actresses are named Chandra. My friends pronounce it as: Shan-dra or Chan-dra or San-dra. I would love to have my nickname "Chani".
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. (Due to the bad press, he lost re-election in 2002.) In March of 2009, her murderer was found: Ingmar Guandique, who had assaulted other women in the area where Chandra's body was found.
Chandra is in general a north Indian name. It is also a north Indian last name. People with that last name could be linked to one of the great kings of India Ram Chandra although some people believe it Chandar a different name altogether.
Chandra is my last name and I'm blessed to have that. I'm a Indo-Fijian and my ancestors are from India over 500 years ago. I don't know how I got the name but am blessed to have it. I've vowed I'll never change the name because I love it.
To me this is SHAN-dra and what I have been named. It's interesting to see different cultures and dialects pronounce this in their own way. Also, I am Irish/French with a French last name and it flows beautifully!
Chandra is a beautiful name whether it's pronounced CHAN-dra or SHAWN-dra (I've known girls named both!) It's strong, unusual and elegant at the same time. All excellent attributes for a little girl.
