Zandra
When unconventional British fashion designer Zandra Rhodes, the Swinging London's 'Princess of Punk,' changed her first initial from S to Z, she transformed a diminutive of Alexandra into a legitimate name, anticipating the Zander phenomenon by decades.

Zandra did actually invade the lower depths of the US popularity list three times--in 1953, 1970 and 1971.
