Sandra is pronounced "san-druh". SONDRA is pronounced "sohn-druh" - two different names and should be treated as such.

One of the most silly threads posts (and there have been MANY) - if you would simply ask the person how they would prefer their name to be pronounced????

And yet there are plenty of women named Sandra who pronounce it Son-drah.

And those named Alexandra with some who say Alex-an-dra and some who say Alex-ahn-dra.

Unless Sandra prefers that HER name be pronounced sohn-druh. It's HER name; she gets to decide.

Sandra is pronounced San-Dru.

Sondra is a different name than Sandra.

"San-Dru" LOL Where the heck did that come from?

How's this: Depending on the person's preferred pronunciation, it's SAN-dra or SOHN-dra. The English schwa sound is similar to "uh" for unaccented syllables.
