Yes I pronounce Calandra as Ca-LAWN-druh like
Cassandra with an L. Everyone seems to be in agreement about that. I've known two Calandra's and I personally think that the name is BEAUTIFUL. The other Calandra's that I've known, however, pronounce their names Ca-LAN-druh. I don't think it's the correct pronunciation, but I may be wrong. I just don't think it's as flattering as the other way. Also, I have always thought this name would make a good sibling set with
Melina.
Calandra and
Melina just sound like sweet little sisters to me. :)
