Be very cautious about transliterating (sound for sound) words fromone language to another!
What may be a common name in one language may be an article of trowser

Please ask a native speaker of Chinese to suggest a suitable
replacement for Sandra before you wind up with words that will "read"
as offensive, bizarre or inexplicable in their language!
