Hi Gordon,

in the book "Names through the ages" by Teresa Norman I found these forms:

England:
1154-1603: Andrew, Dande
1603-today: Andrew, Dande, Dandy, Tandy

Scotland:
1093-1706: Andrew, Andra
1706-1850: Andrew
1850-today: Andrew, Andra

Wales:
47-1283: Andras
1283-1536: Andreas
1536-1770: Andrew, Andras
1770-today: Andrew

Ireland:
1170-1536: Aindréas, Andrew
1535-1650: Aindréas
1649-1800: Andrew
1800-today: Aindréas, Aindrias, Aindriú, Andrew

France:
768-987: Andrieu
987-today: André

United States:
1620-1845: Anders, Andre, Andrew, Dande, Dandy, Tandy
1845-1945: Anders, Andra, Andre, Andrew, Dande, Dandy, Tandy
1945-today: Anders, Andre, Andrew, Dande, Dandy, Tandy

Well, nowhere appears the form Andy... (?) just Dandy and Tandy...

Hope that helps!
Regards, Satu
