HelpRe: Andrew
in reply to a message by Martha
I feel similar to you about this one - it's actually a pretty nice name, but I knew so many that I've become immune to its charms. There is actually something satisfying about saying this name; it feels nice in the mouth, if that's not too weird to say. There are a few names that really give me a nice mouthfeel and Andrew is definitely one of them.
Interesting all the Andrews I've known were Andrews in full - I've never known a Drew or an Andy! I guess I sort of prefer Andy because it's a bit more retro, but it does sound bratty. Drew is pretty insufferably yuppie.
I guess I would be mildly surprised to hear about a baby Andrew, depending on who the parents were, what they were like. It is kind of a forgettable classic name so it's not really that unusual, but there is something unimaginative about it. It would be similar to hearing about a baby Steven. I'd be like, "oh, people still call their kids that? I guess they do. I guess that makes sense."
