[Opinions] Re: Andie
in reply to a message by Billina
I kinda like Andy for a boy, short for Andrew, though it does have an aw-shucks, retro kind of feel to it.
But Andi for a girl, I just don't like it. It makes me think of some annoying Valley Girl from the eighties, all big hair and Spandex and cracking gum and stupid talk.
If I liked it I'd say use it for Andrea. Maybe Amanda or Alexandra, if you're desperate to stand out from the Amandas and Mandys and Alexes and Allies and Lexis.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
