HelpRe: Drew
in reply to a message by Lily
What do you think of Drew?
About 5-6 years ago, I was deeply in love with the combo Cordelia Drew (fwiw, I also loved Cordelia Ryan--apparently, I really like Cordelia paired with a unisex/masculine mn). I've also considered Drew for a second son. So, obviously, I do like it.
Do you prefer it on a boy or a girl?
I like it for both, but, on a girl, I'd be more likely to use it as mn. I'd use it both as a first or middle name on a boy.
Drusilla nn Dru or just Drew?
Hmm. I really like Drusilla as much as I like Drew, so I probably would go for Drusilla, nn Dru. Any day I can get "two names for the price of one" is a good day for me. In all honesty, though, Drusilla is a pretty polarizing name with a lot of haters out there, so I would never use it just to get to Dru/Drew, if you get my meaning. I think just Drew on its own would be better received by most people.
Andrew nn Drew or just Drew?
Since I love Drew and only like Andrew, and I would want to avoid any chance of ending up with a son named Andy, I would just use Drew.
Although I don't know any Andrews really well (kinda weird, since it has been so common for so long), I do know a few from work, church, and at my son's school and daycare. There seems to be an age divide in nicknames. Over a certain age, they're Andy. Under a certain age, they're Drew. I feel like I hear Drew a lot when I'm out and about. I really think it is the stylish choice in Andrew nicknames right now, and when I run into little Drews on playgrounds, in doctors' offices, or in restaurants, I bet many of them are Andrews.
