Personal experiences with the name Andrew: | Edit

Andrew is a great, strong, classic name, and Andy is a good playful name. I'm glad my parents named my little brother Andrew! It fits him perfectly.

Andrew is my brother (born in 1984). He never fails to impress me every day. He has become an amazing, intelligent, witty, handsome, and well-rounded man. He smiles often, by the way. I am so proud of him!

a guy who rarely smiles but is really really super smart.

I have a good friend named Andy and he's so awesome. He's hilarious and makes me laugh all the time. I love it. He's also super smart and is going to be so successful. He is such a nice guy and is a pretty rare find. I'm really glad I got to know him.

So, in my class, I have a kid named Leo. He is a "noob", as my friend Katie just suggested me to say. I am writing about the personal experience I encounter everyday. Leo seems to enjoy the laughter that comes from everyone when he shouts, "BLOO!" when the other kid in my class, Andrew, does something wrong, gets yelled at, or does something retarded. Yeah, that's my personal experience.

I have an 8-month old baby named Andrew, and we call him Drew. He is a super-happy baby that loves to smile, laugh, chuckle, and growl. He just learned to crawl, and has 1 tooth. He is our delight.

My husband's name is Andrew, but he's always gone by Andy. I think its a great name, though a bit popular.
