ZAN-drə is the common English pronunciation of this name.

I love this name. The letter X in the beginning looks sooo cool! It's shorter and faster to say than Alexandra, is quite unique aη∂ I think the nickname "Xan" (pronounced Zan) is badass & fantabulously awesome. :D.

Possible middle name for a future child after my sister Zandry (Zandry being short for Alexandra). People pronounce Zandry and spell it like this and Xandria, and I'm like it's Zan-dree with a Z! Ha, anyway, awesome name. ☺
My daughter's name is Xandria, a version of Xandra. I have found that the name can be confusing. Also, there are very few ready-made monogrammed items with the letter "X" - kind of a big deal for fashion-conscious little girls these days. My daughter now prefers her nickname, "Xanzie".
"Xandria" is a fairly common form of "Xandra", but be sure to do a web search for it before naming your child. "Xandria" is apparantly the name of a popular adult toy store online. (My grandmother alerted me to this fact four months AFTER my daughter was born & given the same name.)

When pronounced as a shortening of "Alexandra" with a simple Z sound, it sounds almost indistinguishable from "Sandra, " which could prove confusing.
