Poll: Baby boy name Andreas

[Anonymous]

I like it. I also like the more Spanish-sounding variation Andres. Go for it!

Some people might mispronounce it, either like "Andrea," the girl's name, or Andres (Ahn-DRACE), but I say go for it anyway. It's a good classic name and I like that it works in multiple languages and countries.

That's my German brother in law's name. I think it's awesome! Go for it.

9:42 PP from 5/20. Apparently, I can talk DH into this name, because it sounds as though he will go for it if this baby is a boy. So you still get a big two thumbs up from me!

Good name. If you have a UK last name go with Andrew.

Love it.

Also love Andres (went to high school with a smoking hot guy named Andres.... yum.)

unless keyboards and word programs improve, it's gonna be a typing nightmare for the poor guy. OP couldn't even put in the accent!

There is no accent in the German name Andreas! The OP meant 'stress' on the second syllable. As in AnDREas.

I knew an "Andreas" in college 20 years ago. His close friends ended up calling him "'Dreas" and sometimes "Dre".

I'll be negative. Is it going to have an actual accent or just be Andreas? If it's going to be spelled with an accent that might be a pain in the ass when typing. Otherwise, nice.

LOVE. And I don't think people will mispronounce.
