  1. Drew is cute and simple. Haven’t heard anyone use it in a while.

  2. He’s named after his father Andrew, who goes by Andy — so we thought it’d be nice to have him go by Drew.

  3. The name was picked by dad. He had a deceased friend that had the name Drew.

  4. His full name is not Drew, but Peter Drew Elliott. Andy is my father’s name, (Short for Andrew.) I thought it would be nice to name my son after him. I don’t like people sharing the same name, it seems strange and narcissistic to me. So we went with just Drew, but my husband thought it could be informal, so his first name is Peter, a family name on my husband’s side. We figured if Drew would like he could go by Peter.
