I prefer Andrew. But that might be that I've got brothers called Russell and Andrew - I think they go really well and I'm especially delighted to see Russell being used!

I just think of Anthony in The Royle Family and the way Sue Johnston( Baabrah) used to say - 'Our Antony'
In Dublin it would be shortened to Anto (pronounced Antoe).
I like both Andrew and Anthony.

Well, I prefer Anthony to Andrew, but Andy to Tony. Are you intending to use the full name?

Andrew. It just has a beautiful flow to it.... So soft.

Andrew definitely. I like Drew for short and Andy is ok. All the Anthony's I know ended up as Tony which I don't like.

Well done on picking two good solid underused names though!

Andrew.
My DH's name - and his brother is Anthony so this made me smile.
DH was always a Drew as a child but now a definate Andrew.
