My understanding is that one of those Texas cities was in the running for a while. Not Houston, Austin. The name that wins the honor of adorning my grandson is Andrew. (Still awaiting a middle name.) For the birth and death certificate they still need a name for Baby B as well.
Andrew. I like that. It is the name of a president and the general at the battle of New Orleans. Andy is the name of my High School Basketball coach and biology teacher as well as the name of my predecessor at Holladay Baptist Church. It is the name of one of the deacons here until he moved to Alaska. It was the name of one of my sons best friends in school, and the same friend became Drew and team mate on his High School football team. I can think of a few Drews but I don't know that is a regular nick name for Andrew. Is it?
I like all the Andys I have ever known. I am sure I will really like this one to. Vote on what you think his call to dinner name should be. Andrew, Andy,Drew,Ace, or some other nick name. Of course, the decision will be further complicated when he has a middle name, and the final decision will be made by his mom and dad.
I will gladly follow their direction.

Drew gets my vote as far as shortening Andrew. Andy is fine but more obvious. Ace is just plain wrong.
Andrew is a great name, though. very stately.
Yeah..We have a name. I like Andrew. Strong name.
I really like the name Andrew. I had a friend in college with that name, and he had always gone by Andrew, but decided that he wanted to switch to Drew. Maybe he thought it sounded more mature, or cooler, or maybe he just wanted a change. So then, I agreed to call him Drew, and whenever I did, he got a real kick out of it, but nobody else knew who I was talking about. That's a long story, isn't it?
I like the name Andrew.
