I like it, think it’s kind of effortlessly cool. DH thinks it’s a name used only for boys.

What do you think?

Like prefer Frankie

I think there's lots of beautiful girls names out there why use a boys name but it's personal preference

I use to live with an Andy, short for Andrea but always called herself Andy. She was always bright and bubbly, the name suited her.

Andie is a girl's name.
Andy is a boy's name..
(And I love the fact that as soon as I type 'Andy' my phone suggests 'Tauer'..... Grin)

I'm an Andi......officially Andrea but I've always been known as Andi and I like it....

I don't know the Goonies. I like Andie for a girl. pretty, like Angela.

Ooh OP be brave and call her Andromeda 🥰

I love Andromeda.
Andrea is okay, my DGD pronounces it ‘Andraya’ which is a bit more glam.
Andrina?
Andante?
I would try to find a full name to abbreviate, to give her options later.
Melisande? There’s one in an Enid Blyton book.

DD is Andrea and quite often referred to as Andy so I'm possibly biased but I think it's a lovely name but, like PPs have said, put Andrea/Alexandra/Miranda (just thinking of --and names) on the Birth Certificate.

Andie Mcdowell is called Rosalie.

Love it

It made me think of Andie McDowell. I think it’s fine as a nickname for a girl but not as a full name - agree with pp Alexandra or Andrea.
