I've considered going by Andy myself, either as a nickname or simply as a pseudonym (my given name is Eleanor, which I like too much to fully relinquish). It gives off "trickster street rat"-type vibes, which makes it very good, but not especially versatile. It's the kind of name one acquires in life, not the kind written on a birth certificate. I quite like it for a female or nonbinary person. I may never call myself Andy, but I'm definitely going to use it for a character.
