HelpRe: Andrew
in reply to a message by Destry
I have mixed feeling for the name because my brother is Colin Andrew but he's always been "Andy" and it sounds strange when anybody call him Andrew and never Drew.
You're right, most Andrews nowadays are called "Andrew", whereas Andrews my age (20's) and a bit younger were mostly called "Andy". I used to not like Andrew very much because the Andrews and Andys I knew were annoying little kids who turned out rather badly (except my brother, perhaps because he's Colin Andrew? joking).
I've heard of very few Drews, I like "Drew" but mostly Drew reminds me of the popular "cool" guy in school who became a doctor or lawyer (Chad has a similar image for some reason). I never think of it as a girls name.
So I'm not surprised Andrew is still popular, it's a handsome and strong Biblical name and there's been many influential men named Andrew throughout history. And boys named Andrew today can just be "Andrew" without being worried that they might be called Andy or even Drew unless they want to be.
