I really like the name Andrew. However, I don't know any grown men with this name. It seems that in middle or high school, all the Andrews become Andy or Drew. Drew is more feminine around here though. Additionally, I don't know any grown men that go by Joshua, Daniel or Matthew. I love all these full names. However, they always get shortened.
Lastly, my daughter is named Abigail. This is all we call her. However the majority of people call her Abby. We kindly tell them her name is Abigail. They still call her Abby. I'm afraid the same will happen with Andrew/Andy.
Has anyone else experienced this?
