Middle name for Andrew?

25 replies

user1471447388 · 26/07/2018 20:15

Hi all,

Really struggling with a boys name. Lots of girls names that we love but we’re having a boy and struggling to agree or even find boys names we love. Think we’ve narrowed it down to Andrew as a first name. Thoughts on this and a middle name please?

So far we have..
Andrew Christoper
Andrew Mark
Andrew Rohan
Andrew James

Thanks!

I think Andrew James is really lovely.

Andrew Christopher would be my second choice.

LoveInTokyo · 26/07/2018 20:25

Lovely name.

I think it sounds good with a one syllable middle name so would go for Mark or James.

Carolwithane · 26/07/2018 20:27

Andrew James definitely

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/07/2018 20:51

Andrew James is a good choice.👍🏻

dementedma · 26/07/2018 20:53

James is so common as a middle name, it's quite dull now. I vote Andrew Rohan.

Disfordarkchocolate · 26/07/2018 21:09

I like them all but Andrew James and Andrew Christopher are my favourites. Andrew is a great name.

BendingSpoons · 26/07/2018 21:09

How many syllables is your surname?

BearCubX · 26/07/2018 21:11

Agree with the PP that James is incredibly dull. Especially with a very regular, common name like Andrew you could easily get away with something more interesting.

My eldest child is Andrew James

He’s 42 now and still known as Andrew..even by his friends

Thanks everyone. Surname is two syllables. I was leaning towards James too. I don’t mind them both being traditional less exciting names so that doesn’t bother me 😀 I know it’s not to everyone’s taste though!

Scotstar · 27/07/2018 09:43

My son is called

Andrew James Christopher

Gorgeous name

ParkheadParadise · 27/07/2018 09:46

Andrew James

Scotstar · 27/07/2018 09:47

Be prepared for folk thinking he can be called Andy. I'm fed strict on that he isn't! I appreciate he might want that when he's older but he's little now so my choice lol.

Unless of course you like Andy then it's a non issue!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 27/07/2018 09:53

He could also be Drew or AJ.

TweedAddict · 27/07/2018 09:55

Or Rew, as I know many Andrews shortened too.

I know 3 Andrew Marks

Scotstar · 27/07/2018 09:58

My son is mostly Andrew but sometimes gets AJ or drew. Or even drewbear! Lol
