From what I understand, Andrew is still getting use in the new generation of babies, along with Anthony (which I also thought would've become dated). I know of at least one baby with each name - both are sons of former classmates.

Drew's sound doesn't bother me; but what does is that it's the past tense of "draw." It's still better than Andy, though. I have despised the sound of Andy since the first time those juvenile syllables ever reached my ears. I know that's an extreme description for a harmless nickname, but it's not an understatement. I loathe Andy. More than Sam and Pat (other sounds that grate on my ears). Not even Toy Story could fully redeem the name Andy, and I love Toy Story.

That is why Andrew has always been off-limits to me as a first name. I'm not even a huge fan of the full name by itself, which is why I don't really use it as a middle either; but I can imagine it sounding attractive when said by a Scot. :-)
