WDYT of the name Andy? It's been my favourite name for a while and I wasn't sure what other people thought of it.

Also what coud it be short for? I'm not keen on Andrea or Andra (sorry). I love Andromeda, but not sure if that's too much for a child.

Sorry, im not keen either. But if you like masculine type names for a girl, how about Peta?

If you don't mind constantly having to correct people that mistake her for a boy, or that she will carry on!!

I know a man called Andy whose daughter is called...Andy. Do you think he wanted a boy ?

Personally don't like it - reminds me of Andy McDowell (sp) which reminds me of the early 90s. I do like the odd boy's name for a girl - Elliot for example. But - big but - I wouldn't saddle my daughter with it and have her feeling awkward every time a new register was taken etc.

This is more popular that you realise! There are two in DDs class, in a school of 170! one spelt Andy, the other, Andi.

Not keen unless it is a nickname and I wouldnt personally saddle a child with a name like andromeda unless I owned a 1000 acre estate in Hampshire or a character from a jilly cooper novel. What don't you like about Andrea? I like it if pronounced an-dray-a
