Help[Opinions] Re: Saundra
in reply to a message by Kyrandia
Saundra and Sondra both irritate me. I think that they're just trying so hard not to be Sandra, and it's irritating. And they both take more effort to say than Sandra does. Sandra just trips off the tongue, and Saundra and Sondra sure don't. So it's like they're saying, "I refuse to be the boring Sandra, so you just have to make more effort to get it right."
This post did motivate me to look up Sondra, though, and I found something interesting. It said that the name Sondra first started being used for real people after it had been used for a character in "An American Tragedy". The popularity statistics bear that out, the book was published in 1925 and it was right then that Sondra started being used. I reread the book just a few months ago. Now I know something that I didn't know before.
