[Opinions] Andrea, Andrés, André or Andreas?

Hi !!!

I would like to ask you an opinion on these four forms of the same name.

Andrea is the Italian variant
Andrés is the Spanish one
Andreas is the original Greek form used also in many countries.
André the French form.

I strongly dislike Andrea because it is boring and weak imo.

Andreas and Andrés instead are more lively and both quite close to the Italian language. André instead is more old-fashionable but fascinating as well. I like them!

So...which one and why?
And if you were Italian?

#André #Andrea #Andreas #Andrés

I dislike for Andrea for a boy - I only like it for a girl - but I love Andrés, Andreas, and André for a boy. I really don't think I can decide or even narrow it more than that.

I have no idea how I would feel if I was Italian since I am not Italian.

I've known many men named André but only one Andreas and I've met no men named Andrés or Andrea. I've met quite a few women named Andrea. If Andrea wasn't such a female name in the US I actually might like it for a boy.

I always thouht of Andrea as a feminine name, being american. Its nearly always feminine if used in the US.

I like Andres, better then Andrea or even Andrew. Its nice, clearly masculine and unique.

Andreas is alright, I prefer Andres though.

Andre is nice, I really hate DeAndre though.

I would use André, but I think I'm biased because I'm French Canadian. If I were in Italy, I'd probably use Andrea or maybe Andreas.

My favorite is Andrew, but I also like Andreas. Andres and Andre are nice but don't do much for me. Andrea is all girl to me.

For a boy, I quite like Andreas. My second pick would be Andrea but only as a girl's name.

I like Andreas the most, and it's also the one that's the most common where I live. Andrea is just as a girls name here, but I would probably have liked it if I had been Italian and living there.

Andreas, bc I like it best (and I prefer not to use accents in names).

If I was Italian my answer would be the same. Andrea is also used as a female name outside of Italy, that doesn't help.

Andrés is my favorite, I also like Anders (Scandinavian variant). I do like the Italian Andrea but here in the US it's typically feminine and pronounced AN-dree-a. I'm not as big on Andreas because it seems dragged out to me I guess... and André seems a little dated.
