Drew

I love this name for a girl, having doubt if I'm brave enough to be different or in fact cool enough. Aside from the obvious unisex debates, what do you think of the name Drew?

I know just as many girls named Drew as boys! I am in America though, from what I hear neutral/masculine/surnames on girls is much more prevalent here.

It's used more for boys in the UK.

Love it for a girl

It's not my own style but I have known a Drew and she was a very interesting person. I think it's okay for girls. I don't like it for a boy.

I was going to say not keen for a stand alone, but if you are in Scotland, then Drew is more frequently used as a shortening for Andrew.

When I got to the bit about 'for a girl', it became a 'no' from me.

I like it. I'd consider it completely unisex.

I know someone called Dru, short for Drusilla.
