Sandra Fernandez In the News

I didn’t like my name when I was a kid. I could never find any of those cutesy souvenirs with the name Sandra on it. Sophia, Sarah, and Sandy were all there (and no, I’m not a Sandy). But I could never find Sandra. I’ve asked my mother where she got the name, but she doesn’t recall. She just liked it, she says. It was down to a choice between Sandra and Sonia. And somehow Sandra won.

I’ve made my peace with my name, but I’ve watched my siblings agonize over picking the perfect name when their own little bundles of joy were on their way. Are you looking for inspiration for a baby name? Check out the list of top 10 baby names in Houston, as reported by the Houston Health Department’s Bureau of Vital Statistics.

For the boys:

  1. Liam
  2. Noah
  3. Mateo
  4. Sebastian
  5. Ethan
  6. Elijah
  7. Daniel
  8. Dylan

  2. Ava
  3. Camila
  4. Sophia
  5. Sofia
