Andy Griffith is an actor who has been around a long time. He played Sherriff Andy on the "Andy Griffith Show" back in the '50's and more recently played lawyer Ben Matlock on the show, "Matlock."
The name Andy is for little kids and grown men that act like little kids. Personally I think anyone who goes by the name of Andy should be slapped on sight.

Andy Hurly is the drummer of the band Fall Out Boy.
Cute name for a boy, but really good for girls too (when short for Andrea.) Andy is the name of Anne Hathaway's charecter in the movie "The Devil Wears Prada."
I MUCH prefer this nickname to Drew, but I wouldn't use this form as the actual name, but opt for Andrew instead. As a real name, this name is not quite serious and mature enough, but it's a nice nickname.
This name, for me, always brings 'Andy Pandy' to mind. Andy Pandy is a show from England with puppets. He's one of the more famous bearers that nobody's mentioned yet.
