So, naming your baby Andrew or Andrea could help get them lifelong support and a scholarship, as shown in the Guardian today.

From Andrew Tate to Mountbatten-Windsor, my first name has been dragged through the mud. Can a global community of ‘Drews’ help change that?

The ‘Council of Andrews’ started as a bit of fun – but has led to friendships, financial help and even fiances…

They’re got their own flag and Latin motto.

I enjoyed that article!!

I do like the name Andrew, but I've definitely been put off it due to listening to entitled, the book about Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

ETA- and obviously his horrific behaviour!

Because it's always been a steadily popular name, neither name of the moment or obscure, I don't think people hear 'Andrew' and think 'Mountbatten Windsor'. I can think of about 10 non-famous Andrews I know of various ages, and I'd describe myself as quite reclusive.

If I associate it with anything, it's Scotland, for obvious reasons.

But, good luck to the Council of Andrews, sounds like it's helping the members.

Nope. Exhusband's name and he's horrible

I think the name Andrew has been tainted in recent years.
To me Andrea is dated and not old enough to be due a come back.
