[Opinions] Dru
What do you think of Dru as a first name for a girl? I saw it once a long time ago in a magazine and it has always stayed in the back of my mind.

I also only like Dru as a nn for DrusillaDrusilla is a name with history, while Dru looks like a trendy spelling of a trendy boyish name for a girl (Drew)."But it’s all right now.

It does nothing for me. Not even if it's spelled Drew.

I actually really like it, I also like the spelling Drew. I think it makes a really cool mn, also. I would probably use it in the future myself... :)

I find it really unattractive. It's also difficult for me to say--I have trouble with the "dr" sound. Perhaps as a nickname, it would be better, but even them, I'd be underwhelmed.Array

Dru is okay, it reminds me of fields and plains....I don't quite know why...but it also reminds me of Drew Barrymore. I think the name is sort of boyish but it is good on a girl too. I prefer the spellings of Drew or Drue .... Dru is very short for a full first name....maybe for a nickname (I really shouldn't say much since my nickname is Kay...but my full first name is Kaylen.) But it is very pretty.

It's nmsAA! Drew would be slightly more acceptable, but this is "no way" for me. The "u" makes it even less appealing, imo, and the sound seems off.

Drew and Dru are too boyish for a girl imo. Some people use Dru as a nickname for Drusilla but Drusilla has always been nmsaa. I knew a girl named Samantha Dru. She was going to be named Samantha Drusilla but she ended up with Dru as a middle name instead.

I can tolerate Dru on a guy, but I do not like it for a girl. Where's the Kaboom? There's suppose to be an Earth shattering kaboom!" -Marvin the Martian.
