I suppose you don't like the way Americans pronounce the A in the English word "sander". I'm multilingual and it's gotten difficult for me to be sure how native speakers pronounce things, but here are some other variations that come to mind that might make sense to a native English speaking American:
Xander - a common nickname for Alexander. The x is pronounced as a z, but it still has the problem with the American a.
Sunder - Not as common, but it's a name Americans might have heard and in my opinion is closer to the Dutch Sander than "sender".
San Der - For the large percentage of Americans who are familiar with Spanish pronunciation, you might have luck with this spelling, but those Americans probably aren't the ones who mispronounce the Dutch version.
"Like Shaun Der, but with an S instead of an Sh on the front" - The way I explain the Hungarian variant Sandór to Americans is "like Shaun Door".
