I love this name for a girl, having doubt if I'm brave enough to be different or in fact cool enough. Aside from the obvious unisex debates, what do you think of the name Drew?

Drew is a pretty name for a girl that will age well as she gets older.

Its more of a boys name.

@Twizbe I actually know of a female doctor called Drew, she's based in south wales now

Not keen, especially if your surname is Peacock

as a boys name I think it’s fine (it’s often a shortening of Andrew in Scotland) but as a girls name it just feels quite american. Maybe because my only female association of it is Drew Barrymore!

A few weeks ago I was in A&E with kidney stones. I was so poorly. The female doctor who treated me was called Drew. She was wonderful and because of that I now think it’s a great name for a girl.

Not to my taste but overall OK, it's not ridiculous or offensive. Just a bit too American for me!
