What are everyones thoughts on [name_f]Andie[/name_f]? Its always been in the back of my mind but i worry if its a good idea for a girl. I think it would be great for a young girl but is it usable for a grown women?

Possible pairings:

[name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (??)
[name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]

any suggestions would be awesome!!

I prefer andie as a nickname for [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] or [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] / [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], or even [name_f]Candace[/name_f].

As far as [name_f]Andie[/name_f] as a given name, seems like it would totally work. It is quite similar to [name_u]Mandy[/name_u], [name_f]Mindy[/name_f], [name_f]Wendy[/name_f], and those are all nicknamey names as well as well known given names.

I am guessing you like very common or what some people call filler middles. They seem quite expected, which, is fine if that is what you like.
[name_f]Andie[/name_f]:
[name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]

I knew a girl named [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] who went by [name_f]Andie[/name_f] when she was younger.

Although I find [name_f]Andie[/name_f] too nicknamey/masculine to stand on its own, it would fine as a nn. I like the suggestion of [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] nn [name_f]Andie[/name_f].

4

Could it work as a double barreled first name?? Like for example [name_f]Andie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] ______ then another middle name?

5

Well [name_f]Andie[/name_f] McDowell is into her 50’s (I presume) and it still works for her. For Ms. McDowell it is actually a nickname from her middle name, [name_m]Anderson[/name_m], her first name is [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].

I don’t care for the compound name so much unless the second name has a lot of meaning for you.

Very cute! Other posters have great suggestions for a longer name.

I think it’s a cute name. Not my style, but Hathaway’s character in The Devil Wears Prada was [name_f]Andie[/name_f] and it worked for her.

8

I think that would be fine. [name_f]Andie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Andie[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f], etc.

I don’t mind [name_f]Andie[/name_f] as a nickname, I actually find it quite nice, but I’m not a fan of it as a full name.

I love [name_f]Andie[/name_f]! So cute but I can see it aging well. I would prefer it as a nickname but I can see it standing alone as well.

I have always loved [name_f]Andie[/name_f] - just as she is; ‘full’ name not necessary. I also think that a double barrel such as [name_f]Andie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] would work really well, however, I think that it looks a lot nicer sans the hyphen ([name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]) and would likely age better that way too. I can easily see [name_f]Andie[/name_f] on a woman of any age.

I think [name_f]Andie[/name_f]'s cute as a nn; I’d prefer a formal name for the birth certificate, though.

Good luck! :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Andie[/name_f] for a girl! I’ve known girls named [name_u]Billy[/name_u] and [name_f]Bobbi[/name_f], and [name_u]Blake[/name_u] Lively just named her daughter [name_u]James[/name_u].

It’s also cute as a nickname, as others suggested, maybe for [name_u]Andrea[/name_u].

I think a more feminine middle name, like the ones you mentioned, can make the whole name more girly. If she doesn’t like the name she can always go by her middle name when she’s older, too.

My favorite combo is [name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Part of that is my own fondness for the name [name_f]Rose[/name_f], but I also think [name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is nicely balanced.

This.

There’s always [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f].
