Andromeda: a drop of crystal frozen in the lucid depths. Graced by myth and sparking the foundations of the arts and science and literature... it is decorated with ethereal power. An atmospheric lullaby! A beacon in the sky, undiminished by the passage of time. A kiss on the hearts of those who bear it.

In my opinion, Andromeda is an absolutely gorgeous name. I love its length, uniqueness, association with the stars, and its potential nickname, Andy. Not many names more beautiful than Andromeda.

I love this name! I like how it can have a lot of cute nicknames without sounding stupid, and how it makes me think of the Andromeda Galaxy! It's a very pretty name and is surprisingly easy to pronounce.

One of my favourite girl names of all time. If I had a baby girl right now, she would be called Andromeda. Can be shortened to Andy, Annie, Meda or Drommy (though I'm not personally a fan of this nickname). I say go for it to everyone considering it, people have used Phoebe for years, that's from Greek Mythology and no one bats an eye.

Andromeda is so gorgeous and elegant, I love astronomy so this reminds me of the Andromeda galaxy! I'd probably use this as a middle name though, it's definitely one of my favourite names ever.

The meaning is really weird, but all in all it's a very beautiful sounding name! I immediately think of the Andromeda Galaxy, which makes for some really cool imagery. Could definitely be a conversation starter.

Andromeda was the name of my goldfish. Very lovely, but somewhat out there. If you name a child Andromeda, she may be teased at school, but not if she is bright and reasonably friendly.

Sounds more like a fictional name. Not many would be able to take a name like "Andromeda" much seriously.

One of my daughters is called Andromeda, I’m very much into astronomy and my favourite thing to view in the sky is that galaxy, so I named her after that. She just loves her name and is very proud of it (3 ½ currently) and corrects anyone who gets it even slightly wrong and then tells them what she’s named after, a little smarty pants. We had a very poor reaction at first from our parents who had all sorts of objections about it but now they would not have her by any other name and to be honest, her personality suits it well. However anyone who dares to try and shorten it may well receive a painful whack from her dolly! Our other daughter is called Poppy and that was the wife's choice.

I plan to name my daughter Andromeda- and nickname her Rome / Romie out of the middle sound. Even if it makes people think of Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion :P.

I adore it. It's beautiful, mature, and uncommon yet not unheard of. Plus, it comes with a variety of cute nicknames, from Andy to Ida.

We are naming our daughter Andromeda Elizabeth, I just hope she likes it when she's older :). We absolutely adore anything to do with astronomy, mythology, and things of the mystic world. We both hope to one day study the stars as a career. Plus her father is very adamant on calling her Andromeda. It was decided that was to be our little girl's name even before she was conceived. I think it's gorgeous.

Ada is a cute nickname that makes Andromeda more accessible.
Ada Lovelace was a pioneer of computer science, while Andromeda, of course, is a galaxy & constellation. Perfect names to spark a young girls interest in science. Still, both are fun, classic, and girly; the constellation is named for a mythical princess!

In the definition it states that Andromeda was a Greek princess... this is incorrect. The story is Greek, but Andromeda was an Ethiopian princess. [noted -ed]

This sounds like such a ridiculous name. It's super long for one thing, and none of the sounds in it are at all flattering or pretty. Plus it's the name of a galaxy.

I've also seen this name interpreted as latinisation of the Ancient Greek Andromede meaning "ruler of men", or meaning "mindful of her husband" or meaning "advising like a man". I don't which, if any, is accurate. Also, the French form is Andromède, the Catalan is Andròmeda and the Spanish is Andrómeda.

My first name is Andromeda, I would like to know how many others there are, I have never met another, but I would love to. I am 3rd generation Greek and very proud of it. I have done research and I'm very very proud of my unique name and origin.

This name is absolutely stunning. Andromeda... I think of a beautiful, strong, and mysterious woman. However, I don't think I could ever name my child this. It's too unheard of... maybe as a middle name. Or maybe even as a first name if I think it over. :)

It's a really beautiful name. I myself wouldn't use it, but I still find it stunning. It would make a great name for an alien princess in a sci-fi story.

Andromeda also means "she who has bravery in her mind," which I personally prefer.

My big sister's called Andromeda! We always used to call her Andie but then some People found out that my name was Pandora and I go by Pandy for short. "Here comes Andy-Pandy and Looby-Lou, happy as they can be Teddy too..." Not nice ¬_¬ I wasn't too bothered but we always called her Meda after that. We pronounce it 'Andro-meda' like 'drove' but with out the 'v' sound.

I can't help but feel this name is a bit stupid. Maybe it's because of the brainless science fiction series of the same name.

This would be a really cool name to use, but I'm afraid it's a bit too strange and ''big'', if you get my drift. It could work as a somewhat unconventional middle name, though, and it can always be shortened to Andie.

Andromeda is my second middle name, I love it. The Greek myth with Perseus and Andromeda is one of my favourite. I go by "Andie" as a nickname rather than my first name as I love my middle name so much.

This name is AWESOME. There's a ton of ways you can pronounce it, and each way is beautiful. Plus, the nickname can be Andy. Don't see a lot of girls with the nickname Andy, do ya now? :D

There is a galaxy named after Andromeda, very close to our own, and a subject of extensive observation by astronomers due to its having similar properties to the Milky Way. This galaxy can also be easily seen with the naked eye.
