[Opinions] Re: Andrew
in reply to a message by Martha
This is probably a name that will never really be unpopular, so no, I wouldn't be surprised to meet a small Andrew.
I've always liked it and might have used it. I don't like the nn Drew, it gives me such a prissy, sour-faced little vibe. Andy is a friendly, aw-shucks sort of nn, but not every guy is suited to it.
I know an Andrew who's Valerie's age, he's a Junior and goes by AJ, his dad is Andy. And there is a woman I used to work with who has twins who are about seven or eight named Sara and Andrew. I don't know what he's called for a nn, if anything.
I don't think there was ever an Andrew in school with me, but I do remember a few guys named Andre.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
