Well I had a friend named Andraya. Sounds like it's spelled And-Ray-A. I never realized it was different until I met an Andrea. I think Andraya is prettier then Andrea but I like either.

I love the name Andrea - but Andy is probably a nickname unavoidable.

I really like the name Andrea. It is my cousins name and it is very pretty. Her full name is Andrea Eva Danielle and i think it is a very nice name! :) We dont have any nn's for her we just call her Andrea. I have another cousin (other side of the family) who is named Andrea but goes by Andy. Both are pronounced an-dree-ah and i prefer that a lot more than An-dray-ah.

I like both pronunciations. What about...

Andrea Chelsea
Andrea Emily
Andrea Hazel
Andrea Kestrel
Andrea Luna
Andrea Wren

I prefer the An-dree-ah pronounciation. I like the name but I don't think I'd ever use it. I know three Andreas though.

---

Andrea Lavinia - she goes by Drea.
Andrea Michaela - goes by Andy
Andrea Emilia - goes by Dee

---

I have no ideas for other good combos. Andrea Claire maybe.

In English, I prefer AN-dree-ah. It's pronounced an-DREA-a in Swedish though (ea like in dear). It's the name of one of my favourite singers, which has made me like it more and more. She's Andrea Heléne (ln Norberg), but goes by Dea. Can't think of any good combos of my own though...

Andrea is all boy to me. I have a cousin [girl] named this. We cal her AN-DRAY-UH.

It's very 80's-90's. For me it's in the same category as Jennifer, Ashley, Nicole, Sarah, Michelle, Becky...it's such a common name that it's almost nondescript.

A wicked middle name would punch it up, but then I'd be sad that such a cool name had to hide behind it.

---

I don't think anyone would pronounce it "An-DRAY-uh" unless it had an accent.

I like it for an entirely illogical reason that will probably not prove useful to you: It's what I feel I should have been named. Uh, my parents thought my twin and I were going to be boys because the ultrasound tech pronounced that we were. So they picked Andrew and Michael after our grandfathers. Two months premature we were born girls and got stuck with names from off the top of my mother's labor clouded head, when really, wouldn't Andrea and Michelle just have made sense? So, I have a soft spot for that. I like it AN-dree-uh.
