Drew

daisypond · 29/06/2020 18:02

Guy by miles. It’s a really great name.

Jen435 · 29/06/2020 18:09

Guy. Drew sounds like a nn for Andrew

Champy87 · 29/06/2020 18:12

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.

Drew

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.

Skyliner001 · 29/06/2020 20:38

Neither

Guy

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

MikeUniformMike · 29/06/2020 20:48

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

queenmother · 29/06/2020 20:57

I know two Drew's, both lovely men.

BlueJeanBabeh · 29/06/2020 21:11

Thanks all, keep them coming. We are really divided on this.. 😬

@user1493494961 Edward was a first name contender too

Drew gets my vote x

DramaAlpaca · 29/06/2020 21:17

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

BrutusMcDogface · 29/06/2020 21:20

Drew! I taught a little Guy (see what I did there?! 😉)

BlueJeanBabeh · 29/06/2020 21:26

@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!

mintich · 29/06/2020 21:31

Drew

RoseHarper · 29/06/2020 21:36

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

BlueJeanBabeh · 29/06/2020 21:47

Waaaahh! This is so hard 😩🤔

user1493494961 · 29/06/2020 21:55

Yes, Edward Guy!

DorotheaHomeAlone · 29/06/2020 21:58

Guy. Definitely Guy. Lovely strong, simple name.

PurBal · 29/06/2020 22:05

Guy. Drew feels like a nickname for Andrew.
