A name to honor Sandra Dee

General Name Discussion
1

My mom passed away about two years ago, and while my partner and I are not currently naming any babies, we do talk about it on occasion. I would love to name a future son or daughter in a way that honors my mom but my mom didn’t have a great name (she didn’t love it either). Her name was [name]Sandra[/name] [name]Dee[/name] but she always went by [name]Sandy[/name].

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[name]Alessandra[/name] is a gorgeous way to honor [name]Sandra[/name].
You could do:
[name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Diane[/name]
[name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Danielle[/name]
[name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Dinah[/name]
[name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Dana[/name]
[name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Demetria[/name]
[name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Demi[/name]
[name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name]
[name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Delia[/name]
[name]Alessandra[/name] Dinora

[name]Alessandra[/name]'s a really pretty choice. There’s also the similar [name]Alexandra[/name] and [name]Cassandra[/name] which contain the ‘[name]Sandra[/name]’ part. Going by [name]Sandy[/name], you have rhyming names [name]Mandy[/name], [name]Andy[/name], [name]Candy[/name], [name]Randy[/name] ([name]Amanda[/name], [name]Andrew[/name]/[name]Andrea[/name]/[name]Anders[/name]/[name]Anderson[/name], [name]Candace[/name], [name]Randolph[/name]). For [name]Dee[/name], you have basically any pick of names beginning with D, but [name]Deon[/name] for a boy and [name]Deanne[/name]/[name]Delia[/name]/[name]Delilah[/name] for a girl have the ‘dee’ sound at the start.

i think [name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Day[/name] is really cute. [name]Alexandra[/name] or [name]Cassandra[/name] are also cute
for a boy, [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Deen[/name] is cute

[name]Alessandra[/name]/[name]Alexandra[/name] was my first thought too and I really like pp’s suggestion of [name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Day[/name] :slight_smile: [name]Cassandra[/name] is beautiful as well
