How does it change in a sentence?

When expressing endearment or familiarity toward someone named Sandra, you can add the suffix ちゃん to the name.

sandora

If a Sandra wanted a Japanese version of her name for a seal or stamp, she might choose Kanji characters like 燦 for 'brilliant' and 多良 to approximate the sound.
Japanese does not have a standalone 'r' sound like English, so the 'r' in サンドラ is produced by a flick of the tongue that sounds like a mix between 'r', 'l' and 'd'.
Adding ちゃん to サンドラ creates a 'baby talk' version of the name, which is used not only for children but also between very close female friends.
