Andrea?

I'm pregnant with my first child and for as long as I can remember I have loved the name Andi for a little girl. I really like Andrea as a full name and am not keen on the other names that could be shortened to Andi (Miranda, Cassandra)

My partner thinks Andrea is old and outdated but so are many other names that have come back around! I guess Andrea just isn't one of those quite yet.

What do people think of Andrea/Andi? Are there any other names that could be shortened to Andi?

Others in the shortlist are

Emma
Anna
Kate/Cate
Eleanor/Nellie
Bryony
Alexandra
Juliet
Violet
Robyn
Edina/Idina

I know an Alexandria that mostly goes by Andi.

I really like Andi and Ali too.

Andriana is nicer than Andrea imo.

I like it. Andrea is a lovely name and not too popular now.

I find Andrea really out dated, sorry. But I love Anna, Juliet and Kate.

I think of Andrea as a boy's name more than a girl's. It is nicer for a boy IMO

I like Andi but do find Andrea a bit dated. It's ok though. I would much prefer Alexandra with short form Andi.

Others: Adrienne, Leandra, Pandora, Yolanda.

I know a little girl called Andi-that’s her full name. I find Andrea and Andi have very different vibes. Andi feels quite young and quirky and Andrea feels a bit...middle aged.

I know an Andriana who shortens to Andi.

SallyWD · 22/11/2018 11:54

Andrea is a nice name and not popular

BertramKibbler · 22/11/2018 11:36

I like Andrea and Andi is a cute nickname for a baby or adult

Sophronia · 22/11/2018 11:35

I think Andrea is fine, but you could also shorten Alexandra to Andi.
