Sandy for a boy?

[kittytiggypeggy]

Thoughts - for my friend.

A bit bland, I assume Alexander on the birth certificate (at least he would have other options).

I think Sandy is traditionally short for Alexander esp in Scotland so why not Alexander on the birth certificate and Sandy for his nickname?

Where I live in Scotland, Sandy's are short for Alexander. I personally love it and Alexander is actually our top baby boy name if we have a boy 😊

I would immediately think it's a girls name...

Agree, short for Alexander, I believe mainly in Scotland judging by the ones I have met.

Alex is the other short version.

Sandy used as a name rather than a shortening of a name would be a girl, maybe Alexandra or Sandra.

I went to uni with a name Sandy, full name Alexander.

I work with a male Sandy, he's the loveliest guy. The name makes him stand out too, in a good way

Its fine as long as the surname isn't Beach . Will he be Alexander known as Sandy

Great name. I’d go with Alexander on the BC though.

Fine in Scotland but he might appreciate Alexander on his birth certificate

Meh

Lovely 😊

I love it. It's an old man name to me, but in a good way.

Love this name

It's bland and beige. Imo reminds me of the comedy film identity thief the main character was Sandy Patterson

I think it's lovely. Makes me think of Sandy Lyle. Maybe he'll like golf? 😊

Love it short for Alexander. It was on our shortlist for DS.

My youngest is Sandy - Alexander on birth cert. We are Scottish and he was born in Scotland but now live in the SE. Only had a "girls' name" comment once ever in his 8 years as most people have heard of it as a pet name for Alexander. MIL didn't like it as it reminded her of someone horrible at her gold club - not Sandy Lyle though

I like it, especially if it's short for Alexander which is gorgeous.

Girls name. Short for Sandra!

Sits and thinks dreamily of Sandy Cohen in The OC.

I know one short for Lysander! Very Shakespearean..

Horrid. My Mum’s childhood dog was Sandy, it was a girl.
