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. :)

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)

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. :)

Alysha Marie Rohla Aka. the important thing to note is that he wants to be referred to as
Alejandro.
Thanks Melenie :)

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".

really surprised to see someone who cares so much about his fans...it is one of the reasons why i
appreciate him so much :))
