This name for our DS?

[BeauBeaus]

Drew.

Do you like it? What are your views?

I like it a lot.
Not old fashioned or too modern.
Would it be short for Andrew?

@The4ks I think probably as a stand-alone name but considering either at the moment. Would be known as Drew though

I don't like it -sorry, but you did ask.

It's perfectly fine as a stand-alone name.
Wouldn't want Andy as a shortening so safer to put Drew on the BC if that's what you want him to be known as.

Love it so cute but also a nice name to grow into!

American, to me it’s a surname but I don’t dislike it for a boy

I love it

I see it more of a surname so no from me. However I really like Andrew!

I dislike it, but mainly because I knew someone with that name who was a creep. Feels a bit drippy though as well.

Don’t like it.

Great name.

Awful

I like it a lot.

I like it

I like it - a nice strong name

Drew Barrymore- most well known and female

It's okay - "Look darling, Drew drew a lovely picture today" - nah, gone off it now

It sounds a bit trendy to me as a given name, but is lovely as a nn for Andrew.

Makes me think of Nancy Drew - a surname.

I like it.

Thank you all. Seems like a bit of a love hate here. The bonus is it is meaningful for us so maybe that's why it gets the edge. I don't know any Drew's so another bonus.

Grateful for the replies, keep them coming.

It's ok. It's very grey and dull. The sound isn't an attractive one really. Quite surnamey.

A lot of people will assume it's short for Andrew.

There's nowhere to 'go' with it - personally I like a name that can be shortened, and even better if there's more than one potential short form (eg a Charlotte could choose Lottie, or Charlie, or to use Charlotte). Drew is one of those names that there's really nowhere you can go if you don't like being Drew very much.

It's not terrible though.

I love it.
Makes me think of Rock of Ages the film.

@YoniAndGuy totally get that, that's helpful. I have one of those names, as does DH, that can't be shortened. We both love it and it's for that reason that we don't want a name that can be shortened and potentially lose its quality, we feel. I know it's personal preferences but completely understand your point and that's really helpful

@FippertyGibbett googles Drew rock of ages
