Names to honor Andrew

Hi all, I lost my dad in January and I've just found out recently that I'm pregnant with a baby boy. I'd like to honor my dad's name "Andrew" but looking for something a little more unusual as my 1st born has uncommon middle names. A little more info is his nickname was Andy and his 90s DJ name was Macky. I'd love some help, thank you so much ✨💕

@Billie Really? I've never heard of it 😂 Yeah, I liked Drew and Anders too but wasn't sure if there was any other options. Want to make sure his name is definitely in there somewhere and somehow 😂🥰 x

Oh right 😂 I know Annie Mac from Radio 1 which is similar 😂 Love Anderson! Not sure about Wander but I never thought of looking at some anagrams of Andrew! That might be a good option. Thank you 😊 x

I am lost my dad also called Andrew. First of all want to say sorry for your loss it’s never easy loosing a dad. But it will mean so much to honour him. I love Drew and Andres You could also do Ender or Andri Whatever you choose it will be amazing 🤩

There are lots of ways to honour the name. Is there a special song he loved when he was a dj or an artist. Is DJ something you could incorporate? Did he have a favourite venue or record label? I love Mac or Mack in general. Hope I have given you some ideas x

Drew Mack Ru (pronounce rew) Ando Dandy Anderson Andrew in a different language (Andreas/andras= Welsh, Andre= French)

I think Mac is cute or Mackenzie… Dru Dre Ando Roux Dandy Aindréas (Andrew in Irish) Saint (St Andrew)

@Jessica thank you, I'm so sorry for your loss also 😞💕

Thank you everyone! There's some lovely names here to consider 🥰🙏🏼

i love Drew as a way to honor someone named Andrew! Mack would also be cute. 💙 other ideas: Drew/Dru. Anders. Anderson. Andreas. André. Andro. Ando. Mackai/Makai. Mackinley. Mackay/Mckay. Mackenzie. Macallister. Macauley. Maccabee. Mackson/Makson/Macson. MacKellar/McKellar. Mackenna. Maksimillian. Macmillan. Macbeth. McKay. Maksim. Macsen. Max/Maxwell/Maximus/Maxim/Maximillian/Maxy/Maxie - Max sounds very similar to Mack. i also like the idea of Roux/Rue/Roo - like "Rew" at the end of Andrew - or a name like Reuben/Rupert/Rufus that contains that "Rew" sound. 💙

Rue Andre Mack Wander Ward Anderson Red Arden Dean Warner Anders I’m sorry for your loss, I hope you can find a name that feels just right to honour your dad. You could also branch out and maybe think of places that are special to you and your dad, songs you both loved, etc. 💕💕

André Randy Wren Reddy Reid Rooney Ender Ewan

Wow, thank you all for your names and suggestions. It really means a lot! I have a lot more to consider and work with now. I truly am very grateful 🙏🏼💜
