I do know some Andrew's whom go by the full name that around like in their late 20's. but, I think that happens to the majority goes by nicknames. my brother is 18 and his name is Stuart (my parents and I will call him Stuart) but, everyone else just calls him Stu it's really what the person prefers. I've always called him Stuart from the last 18 years so it would be difficult to change that. I also, know people by Steven and Rob they get called their full names by their families but everyone else will call them Steve/Steve-o Rob/Robbie. All in all, It's what the person wants to be called by other's. It can also be the other way around I went to school with many Katie's but after high school they decided Katie was too chilidish so they went back to using Katherine. In my past experience It really depends what the person wants to be called (however it's much easier when their younger) My parents always wanted everyone to call my brother Stuart when he was younger but everyone just called him Stu. As long as your son (when he becomes the approriate age) is happy with being called Andy/Drew if not, he'll tell people to call him Andrew (I wish it was easier too!)
