I normally find every man named Andrew to be kind, smart, and good-looking. This name is very popular among my age-group, but I love it nonetheless. I do have a very negative familial tie (it's my uncle's middle name; I learned that from my grandmother), but I don't care about that; I'd gladly name a future son Andrew. If you're thinking about using the name Andrew, I definitely recommend it!

That's a good name. And nicknames are lovely.

I love this name for many reasons, but most of all because it's a good, smart sounding & strong name.
I've never known a nasty or rude Andrew.
Interestingly, almost all Andrew's I've known personally have always been very intelligent.
I think I've known @ least 5 Andrew's in my lifetime since my early school days & I'm now 44 years young!
Back then, it was a popular name, but not so much these days.
That's a shame really.

Let's forget for a moment that a person named Andrew Tate exists. This name is so very much beautiful, I hate the religious background of this name, but the name itself, the way it is written and read, is quite interesting and desirable. Now let's assume we know who Andrew Tate is. It doesn't make Andrew any less amazing as a first name. It is still a beautiful name. Because he is a successful person, everyone is talking about him, both in a positive and negative ways. I don't want to tell you whether he is good or bad, it's ok if you disagree that he's not a good person, but it can be said for sure that he is not the worst role model for young people out there. I didn't say it all to defend him, I'm just saying that if you have considered the name ANDREW as one of the options for naming your son, believe me, there is no need to change your mind and ignore this name just because Andrew Tate is too famous for of an association. Kids in school would always find some way to troll any name regardless. So do what you want to do...

I got an account to argue with internet strangers about the quality of the name Andrew. Look, I'll say it, I'm biased. But aren't we all? My Dad's name is Andrew and I think it could suit nearly any man. It's like every show you watch has an Andrew/Andy/Drew, and isn't that kinda beautiful? So many impressions on one name! And such a good name! Every Andrew I meet is kind (so far). I've managed to meet a new Andrew like every year of my life and they are all interesting people. I think it's such a cool sounding name! Yet so casual! Any one can know an Andrew. Your uncle Andrew, your cousin Andrew, your Friend Andrew, your teacher Andrew, that one employee at Kmart! It also just sounds like the bearer is popular even though it's common. Now is the best time to take advantage of this amazing name and name your child Andrew! (Unless your last name is Tate).
I'm just saying this is a name that nearly anyone can pull off, even girls (Andy/Andrea).
It's sad that there seems to be a decline.

I was considering using a female form of Andrew for a daughter, but now looking at the meaning... I'm not sure. There are some very nice feminine derivatives, but if "masculine" is the meaning, that's an odd thing to have to tell people.

Andrew is my crush's name, so I automatically like it. Despite being very common for my generation, I like it a lot. It's a very stable name that's been used for a long time. I don't like to shorten this name, it's too cool for that.

I like it. Handsome, masculine, and the meaning is pretty cool for a boy. The nickname Drew is great. I can’t believe there are people out there who actually named their daughters Andrew. The name is clearly masculine. Even the MEANING is masculine.

I love the name Andrew. Andy is such a cute nickname. And unlike all of those weird, trendy names, Andrew is a very classy name I just find adorable, not weird and cute only for babies. And the main reason why I love this name is because I have ancestors named Andrew so it has a personal connection to me.

My name is Andrew and I have come not to like my name because it’s relatively common, so I feel less unique. Additionally, since it is relatively common, there are a few bad bearers of the name including Andrew Jackson, a very bad president, Andrew Johnson, also a very bad president, and Andrew Carnegie, one of the most infamous robber barons of the 19th century.

Common, yet it is still an awesome and timeless name for a boy!

I tend to like names based on what they sound like to me and what they remind me of more than their actual meaning. When I first heard the nickname Drew, it made me think of morning dew (like on the grass), so I kind of think of it as a nature name.

I named my son Andrew for several reasons: #1, It's Biblical, #2, It isn't trendy #3, Seeing it, someone knows he's male but can't assume age or ethnicity. #4 The name Andrew fits well with all interests and jobs, and grows well with a person. I've worked with thousands of business owners and job seekers. Many comment they feel a little "restricted" or "boxed in" by their names (their words). For instance; my uncle's name is Jan, the Norwegian version of John. He's a lawyer. People ask for "Ms. Larson" on the phone. Someone seeking a male attorney may skip over Jan. This is often unintentional. Andrew looks great on a business card, resume, class list, retail badge, etc., and is popular enough that it's easily pronounced by people who speak English as a second language.
I've embarrassed myself stumbling over/mispronouncing names, and felt disrespectful having to call people by their first name instead of Mr. or Ms. If I wasn't sure. I prefer Andrew, but the nicknames Andy and Drew seem to fit different personalities well, again giving a person flexibility.

I don't like this name. It sounds annoying and too many people are named Andrew. I mean people use other names like Thomas and or James. That sounds better. I mean people, if you have a baby don't call it Andrew. There are too many Andrews and we need to call our babies other names and not the same name.

The most recent comment is not accurate on this forename being 'overused'. In fact, its decline in popularity is factually indicative of why this name might actually be a wise choice for anyone who might desire a strong yet timeless name for their son. Also, just for further information concerning the suggested Andreas, it would not work very well in my neck of the woods as it is considered a widely used feminine name.

Way overused. Go for its original Greek form Andreas instead.

I would definitely use this name for a son in honor of a special Andrew in my life that passed away. The only problems I have is it's hard for me to pronounce correctly with my accent and I don't like the nicknames Andy or Drew. Might use Rune instead.

I believe Andrew is a great name. I know an Andrew, and he is pretty short. My Granpop is also called Andrew, so I don't like when people call it a bad name. So, yeah.

Andrew fits just about any man or boy. I know many Andrews and the name fits them. It's a good one to pick for a baby if you don't know what he'll be like (which of course you don't).

Andrew is the name of my uncle, who gives me free money often. And who doesn't like free money? Overall this name is good, but I'd personally just use this as a middle name.

What a cute name! However, I despise its nicknames. Andy is too common and immature while Drew is just ugly (sorry). I picture a cute, young, and lively boy with this name. It was also a devastating hurricane that hit Florida in 1992. But unlike other names, I knew this name before I got interested in hurricanes.

This name has been in my family for at least 5 generations, including the middle name of my grandfather, father and me. I used it as my son's middle name (paired with my other grandfather's name and use the initials as his "nickname), and there is at least one other child in the family with the name. I would encourage and hope my son will continue this one day.

English form of the Greek name Ανδρεας (Andreas), which was derived from ανδρειος (andreios) "manly, masculine", a derivative of ανηρ (aner) "man". In the New Testament the apostle Andrew, the first disciple to join Jesus, is the brother of Simon Peter. According to tradition, he later preached in the Black Sea region, with some legends saying he was crucified on an X-shaped cross. Andrew, being a Greek name, was the only Greek translation of his real Hebrew name, which was Gavri'EL.
The meaning of Gavri'EL or Gavriel ist "My strength from God" or "The strong through God" and the Greek translation of Andrew from the Greek adjective "Andreios" is similar and equally meaning - it means "The Strong" or "The Brave" or "The Strength".

This is my name... While I like the name itself and would have considered it for a son, it has become just too common. I knew about 3-4 other Andrews when I was a kid, then met a half dozen or more in college, not to mention the parents/older people who have the name, the kid ringing up your groceries, the cable guy... it's everywhere! I'm in a highly populated area and work custumer service so I see a lot of names --trust me, it's overused. According to the charts it seems to have gone down some, so we may have a reprieve in the future!

I've always really liked this name, but it's become too popular for me to use it. Not that there's anything wrong with a popular name, I just have a relatively unusual name and like being the only Colleen in class. The occasion when there was another I was extremely bothered. I can name about 12 Andrews off the top of my head.

My father has this name - some people nickname him "Andy" but it really doesn't suit him.

My brother's name was Andrew, though he died when I was a very young, so for years I never connected this name to him. Then one day I started wondering why I was so attracted to this name. I think it's pretty much my favorite name ever.

My name is Andrew and personally I really like the name but I've come across a problem. The problem is that every time someone says "and," I'm alway thinking that they are calling my name. It really annoys me especially when I'm not paying attention which causes me to be very surprised. Anybody else with the name Andrew have this problem?

Andrew is a really hard name for me. It all depends how you use it. I've found that 'Drews' tend to be a bit out-there, and keeping it at Andrew makes for a quiet, shy kid. Meanwhile I know several 'Andys', all of which are very attractive and popular people.

This name is handsome as it means man, like Charles. I like it, but it starting to get popular now, and if you like the meaning, you can pick Charles. It has the exact same meaning as this, only a different name. Of course, that's just a suggestion. You don't really have to take it.

Awesome name! =) I only know 3 Andrews and 2 of them are in my grade. It's not very overused where I live. I love the nickname Drew for it, it's really cute. Anyways, it's a very lovely name.

I don't like how popular this name is. It sounds ok, but I think every class I've ever been in at school has had at least one Andrew in it. It is a classic, I'll give it that, but I personally would not name my child this.

It's my favorite male name and I absolutely hate how popular it is! I would name my son this. I like this guy named Andrew and he might not be the most "manly" guy out there, I still like him a lot. The name suits him very great except for the meaning.

Despite what the popularity charts show, there isn't one Andrew in my boys classes at school and I only know of one adult with this name. I think Andrew is a handsome name. I love it.

Saint Andrew (Sf. Andrei in Romanian) is at least also the patron saint of Romania - as the first comment in this forum says. I think it would be nice to add this info in the description. Otherwise I'll think all the other name explanations on this website are not accurate which is maybe not true. You can check for your reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Andrew

Two very different Andrews: Andrew, the Angel of Death, from "Touched by an Angel" (acted by John Dye) and Andrew Dice Clay, the misogynist and so-called comedian.

Andrew sounds like the name of an angel. Too bad it's overused but it still does not affect its quality. :)

I know 16 Andrews, and although it's a great name it can get confusing. It's too overused.

Andrew is a beautiful name. I only know one Andrew, but it is the perfect name for him. He is protective of his family, brilliantly hardwired, impeccably mannered, possesses sparklish eyes, walks like an undercover king, and has the charm of a boyish storyteller. The name lives up to him, and he lives up to the name.

I think the name Andrew sounds like a warrior's name. People who don't like it are just stupid. They are generally really cool people.

Andrew is, to me, a wonderful name. It just seems so strong and handsome (how apt, when the meaning is "strong and manly"), without being smack-you-in-the-face He-Man.

Andrew is Michael J. Fox's real middle name. The "J" doesn't really stand for anything. He took the J when he went into the movies after Michael J. Pollard because there was another Michael Fox registered and he dreaded being called "Michael, A Fox!"
