@ratsnakegames @mavu His first name is apparently Andrew.
I'm disappointed that his parents didn't name him Alexander, in which case the diminutive form would legitimately be Sandy.

@angusm @ratsnakegames @mavu It's very common in the British military for people's nicknames to be based on their family name: “Chalky” White, “Rocky” Stone, “Shep” Shepherd, etc. (The Rocky Stone I knew was also actually Andrew but nobody ever called him that.)
