- Comments and insights on the name Andra
Andra(AWN-drah) is a common name for young people in Romania
We wanted to name her Andi but I wanted her to have a more sophisticated given name for later in life. Pronounced like Sandra w/o the "S".
Andra is a beautiful name. More unique than the usual Andrea, but I'm afraid that she'll spend her life telling people that no, her name is not Sandra/Andrea.
