Is Drew Annelise ok for a girls name?

Question

My husband is set on naming our little girl after his late father. Andrew was his middle name and we’re considering Drew for her first name with a very feminine middle name. Does that seem ok for a girl? Please help!

Answer

Well, there’s Drew Barrymore! I think it’s beautiful 😊

Answer

I love drew for a girl. If you don’t love it, like someone else said, definitely consider it as a middle name. But your name choice sounds beautiful!

Answer

Her name is beautiful! Honestly love the fact that you two are naming her in his honor. My little girl will also be named after my boyfriend's late grandfather. His name is Natalio so she'll be named Natalie Isabella. All 4 of my grandparents already have grandchildren's names in their honor (I have my grandmother's!) So this is a great opportunity to honor his

Answer

Personally I'd rather chose a name you love as her first name and use a grandpa namesake name like Drew as her middle name.

Answer

I love it. My niece is called Drew ❤️

Answer

I think the names pair perfectly and the middle is perfectly feminine to offset the more traditionally boys name. I love it! My girl is named Averi, my other daughter is Raegan. Needless to say I’m a fan of the gender neutral. 😊

Answer

Loveeeeee Drew on little girls. My youngest’s middle name is Drew after her daddy’s middle name Andrew. We call her Drew all the time.

Answer

I know a little girl drew and I love it

Answer

Andrea maybe? Coming from a standpoint of having a girl's name that has been hijacked by the unisex name movement, I downvote all "can't we just bend the rules a LITTLE?" suggestions. 
Just imagine your beautiful daughter being teased for having a "boy's name." Kids are ruthless, and anyone who has a tease worthy name knows the frustration. 
In past years Tatum has gained popularity as a boy's name. Meaning EVERYONE asks me why I have a boy's name despite the fact that I was born decades before the name even began to take off 🙃 and you would be amazed at how many fully grown adults there are in the world who are willing to poke fun at other fully grown adults for a name that was assigned to them. It happened last week. 
In honor of saving another child from the clutches of name bullying, I offer these alternatives:
Andrea 
Andie 
Drew (as a middle name)
???
I hope you don't take this as me being mean! I love the idea of honoring family with a name.
On the other hand one of my best friends in high school had to deal with being a boy and having the middle name Sarah to honor a family member. He was humiliated by it. Even worse, he had two younger sisters and his parents could have just waited a year or two to assign the honor name. 
If you do name your daughter Drew, the bright side is she will be tough. And she will spend her entire life telling strangers "Yes, like Drew Barrymore. No, my parents didn't name me *after* her. It's just the same name." 
Best of luck!
