Adam or Andrew?

[Shanster]

Baby boy is due in a few weeks, and we have narrowed down the list to Adam or Andrew....DD has a Scottish name, and Andrew is a family name, but I also like Adam. What do you think?

Adam is a great name.

Both great names but I prefer Adam.

I prefer Andrew, they are both nice but for some reason i always think of Adams apples but I suspect I am extremely unusual

I prefer Andrew and you get the nicknames Andy/Drew etc. Adam sounds too lumpy and blunt to me, like a piece of apple stuck in my throat. Sorry.

I prefer Andrew too, but don't mind Adam.

Both good, but Adam is my preference.

Adam is my fave

I wouldn't use Andrew as a firstname as I hate Andy as a nn, and I fear that is inevitable.

Adam's solid, IYKWIM.

Adam - it's my ds's name. It has Scottish connections. My Adam has Duncan as a middle name.

An Andrew doesn't have to be Andy could be a Drew.

andrew

They are both lovely but where I am every.single.family who has a boy in it has an Adam. Honestly. For that reason, Adam is slightly ordinary and boring to me now.

Andrew is an absolutely gorgeous name, I've always loved it. Think its classic and wont date.

Love Adam.

Adam definitely! It's timelss yet sounds modern. Andrew sounds a bit dated although still a perfectly nice sounding name but just a bit dull.

Neither....Angus is much nicer.

Andrew by a long, long way.

Like them both but Adam is Dh's name and ds's middle name so that's just swung it.

Both good solid proper names though. You can't go wrog with either of them IMO.

Andrew

Andrew, although Adam is OK.

Andrew is a great name

adam much nicer imo

DD2 would have been Adam if hse had been a boy

I like Andrew and all its variations.

Adam depedds on the surname - as in ''He is A Dam Goodfellow'' or something like that.

Adam is much nicer. I have always disliked the name Andrew but have no idea why!

Oh, I like both. Andrew has a slight edge for me I think.
