Drew as a stand alone fn

dgphotography

DH loves the name Drew and I do too, but we both really don't like the sound of Andrew. Can Drew stand on it's own?? And what would be a mn to go with it?

Drew was on my short list because I'm not fond of NN's, so Andrew wasn't something I really wanted. I think it's a great name.

I totally think Drew can stand alone - esp if you don't like the name Andrew. It's a kind of a hard name to come up with a middle name - something with more than one syllable.

Drew Michael?

I think it's great as a stand alone!  It also eliminates the icky nn Andy from Andrew

Drew Matthew

I think it's great.  Friends of ours just used it, actually.

Just as long as your last name doesn't start with L.  My sister dated a Drew for a few years and his last name started with L....so all through elementary school he was called Drool.  (Drew L.)

I think Drew is fine as a stand alone fn.

How sad, and very funny!! But we're good, literally! Our last name is Good. That's why we definitely need to find a 2+ syllable mn. I'd love to honor some of the men in our life, but they have some of the worst names. Richard, Jerry, Ora (yeah!) Donald and Meredith!

Drew Davis is the first name that came to my head. I have no clue why and I think it sounds good. Sorta depends on last name

Drew Carey and Drew Barry Moore (sp) seem to do fine with the fn Drew.

Definitely can stand alone..  How about Drew Spencer, Drew Christopher, Drew Emerson, Drew Patrick, Drew Henry

I like it, and I would say yes. He'll always get asked if his full name is Andrew, but he'll just say 'no' and move on. It's like my one friend Katie. Everyone asks her if her real first name is Kathryn and she just says "no, it's just Katie."  No biggy.

I also like Drew but I do not like Andrew.

I was actually going to ask this same question here.  My husband is Andrew, but I don't want to do a Jr so I've debated just Drew.  I know a Drew David, and I think that sounds great.

Too funny! My DS is Davis

A friend of mine named her baby Drew and they used her maiden name, Brandt, as the middle name. I think a 2 syllable middle name would work best in most cases.

Drew can definitely be a stand alone name. In fact, all of the Drew's I know are just Drew, not Andrew.

Drew Ross
Drew Evan
Drew Owen
Drew Bryson
Drew Tristan
Drew Benjamin
Drew James

Yes I love Drew by itself. I know a 2 Drews and a Dru and a girl named Dru also. I think it's a great name and have it on my list. I like Drew Thomas

I think it's perfectly fine as a stand alone name, pretty much anything goes nicely as middle name, here are a few suggestions.

Drew Harrison

Drew Patrick

Drew Christopher

Drew Benjamin

Drew Nathaniel

Drew James

Drew Anthony

Drew Michael

Love Drew!

I have a just "Drew" and I think I have been asked once if he is an Andrew and not just Drew.  It fits him perfectly and we love it   His middle name is Jackson....although if you ask him he says Brees...
