I love my name too. But yes, many people pronounce it differently. I am Andréa (like the fault line in California). I love that I have so many nicknames; Andi, Dréa, Dre, I was even Japandi when I was living in Japan :)

This name sucks
written by Andrea, October 05, 2008
I have had this name my whole life (obviously) and I have never had is pronounced correctly the first time. I have had to go by Andie since Jr high just so I will know when people are talking to me. I highly recommend you never name your child this. They will forever be correcting people on the pronunciation of their name.
Ups and downs

this name isnt so bad around small towns. i grew up in the same small town surrounded by small towns and i never had an issue with anyone pronouncing it wrong. I did however have alot of problems with kids picking on me in elementary school because its the feminine version of andrew and so of course you hear that alot. i cant give you any information on how it would effect someone in a city but i have never had any issues. i think it is a strong beautiful name for any little girl.
cute :)
