I've never liked my given name Sandra. I've always been called Sandy, only my mother refused to use it! I do use Sandra as my legal name.

I wanted to name my daughter Elizabeth but a good friend of mine had a baby just a couple of months before I did, and named her baby Elizabeth, so I felt I couldn't use it, which in retrospect was silly, and of course we drifted apart, it wouldn't have mattered. Anyway we settled on Bethany, and always called her Beth. Now she calls herself Bethany, not Beth, but doesn't mind if I call her Beth.
