What do you think of this name (for a boy).

Would probably use Andrew on birth certificate but use Drew.

Drew Barrymore.

Gizmo79 · 04/02/2020 20:31

No. Sorry but no.

CherryValance · 04/02/2020 20:33

I think it's fine as a shortening of Andrew and gives options. Why not?

Drew is slightly odd as a girl's name really - it's only because we're very used to Drew Barrymore that people 's thoughts go to her. Drew for a boy is no different to Zac short for Isaac or Xander/Zander for Alexander.

I am a teacher and have taught many Drews! Lovely name Smile

I like it. Especially short for Andrew.

LimpidPools · 04/02/2020 20:42

I like it. Know 2 good people with Andrew shortened to Drew. Prefer it to Andy.

As long as your surname isn't Peacock.

Lovely name and a nice alternative to Andy!

My cousin has this name; it's always worked well for him (now mid 30s).

I love Drew!

DramaAlpaca · 04/02/2020 23:17

I like it short for Andrew.

Ohyesiam · 04/02/2020 23:37

Yes I like it.
But because kids are here to teach us all about ourselves, he will start calling himself Andy when he is 11Grin

Lovely. Classic.
