I have a cousin guy who lived in America and he did Get the whole “you’re a guy called guy” a lot. Having said that, I don’t think it bothered him much.

Neither are to my taste, but I much prefer Guy. It sounds like more of a complete name. And I knew the most gorgeous policeman named Guy, who was just lovely - tall, muscular, well-spoken, intelligent, kind and handsome, so positive associations for me.

Drew's OK as a shortening for Andrew, Edward is lovely.

Guy is great.
Drew - too closely linked to Ms Barrymore. Or Drew Blood.

Drew gets my vote x

I like both a lot, but prefer Drew as being short for Andrew. So my vote goes to Guy.

@DramaAlpaca nice to hear someone that likes the names. Not many seem to like them 😬 Thank you!

I like Guy (especially the French pronunciation) but I struggle a bit with the idea that it’s the equivalent of calling your kid Bloke or Fella.

So Drew!

Guy - sounds like a complete name whereas Drew like a nickname. Prefer Edward to both though. Edward Guy is lovely.

Guy. Drew feels like a nickname for Andrew.
