1. why do people call you Yandi?Vrh obrasca

82Svia mi seNe svia mi se 2 ljudi se ovo svia Melenie Sayyeau I think someone asked him on this once before he changed his page over, and if I remember correctly, it's a shortened version of his name. Alejandro ---> Jandro ---> Yandro ---> Yandi....something along those lines.

I'm pretty sure it's a nickname he's had for a long time that his family and close friends use, and fans have just kind of started using it. Even though I'm a pretty hardcore fan, I have never called him that because it seems almost like an invasion of privacy....like that's a nickname that only those very close to him use. Out of respect, I would only call him Yandi with his permission. :)4. oujka u 21:54 Svia mi seNe svia mi se 3 Chen Torfstein thank you Melenie :))4. oujka u 22:47 Svia mi seNe svia mi se 1 Alysha Marie Rohla AMEN MELENIE! Yay for being respectful! :)5. oujka u 0:09 Svia mi seNe svia mi se 2 Melenie Sayyeau Another conversation that took place on his Wall a while back:

Toni asked him, "Silly question that requires a serious answer: DO YOU EVEN LIKE TO BE CALLED 'ALE'?"

Alejandro's response: "Honestly my name is Alejandro, and I'm proud of it. It's unique, Ale? that's not nearly as unique or Hispanic and is blah. I much prefer my actual name.....Automatically calling someone a nickname can too easily be perceived as lazy and almost rude. Like "well let me just do what's easiest for me." Always bugged me when meeting someone when I say my name and they're like "well haha I'm NEVER gonna remember that! How about Al?" I'm like wow are you serious? Off to a bad start. How lazy. Anyway, thanks for all the comments girls! you all rule!

Ale never ever bothered me because I KNOW you all care A LOT about us and our music! So I wasn't gonna say anything cause y'all are so good to us, but since you asked Alejandro is really what I prefer. :)"

(That thread generated a TON of comments, haha)5. oujka u 0:39 Svia mi seNe svia mi se 3 Melenie Sayyeau You're welcome, Chen....like I said, I remember someone asking him this a while back, and someone else suggested the whole "Alejandro ---> Jandro ---> Yandro ---> Yandi" thing, and he replied with something like, "That pretty much sums it up."

All I really know is that it is a nickname his family and close friends use.

Sorry for butting in on your post....I just didn't know if Alejandro would see this and respond to it. :)5. oujka u 0:45 Svia mi seNe svia mi se Alysha Marie Rohla Aka. the important thing to note is that he wants to be referred to as Alejandro.Thanks Melenie :)5. oujka u 1:04 Svia mi seNe svia mi se 1 Toni Del Rosario-Caballero Oh Melenie ... you made me miss the old days. Fun times, huh? And yes...ALEJANDRO it is...with emphasis on putting a roll in "RRRRRRR".5. oujka u 4:59 Svia mi seNe svia mi se 5 Chen Torfstein wow...i used to follow his facebook and read his comments to his fans and i was really surprised to see someone who cares so much about his fans...it is one of the reasons why i appreciate him so much :))Dno obrasca
