Hi all, I lost my dad in January and I've just found out recently that I'm pregnant with a baby boy. I'd like to honor my dad's name "Andrew" but looking for something a little more unusual as my 1st born has uncommon middle names. A little more info is his nickname was Andy and his 90s DJ name was Macky. I'd love some help, thank you so much ✨💕

Oh right 😂 I know Annie Mac from Radio 1 which is similar 😂
Love Anderson! Not sure about Wander but I never thought of looking at some anagrams of Andrew! That might be a good option. Thank you 😊 x

I am lost my dad also called Andrew. First of all want to say sorry for your loss it’s never easy loosing a dad.
But it will mean so much to honour him.
I love Drew and Andres
You could also do Ender or Andri
Whatever you choose it will be amazing 🤩

There are lots of ways to honour the name. Is there a special song he loved when he was a dj or an artist. Is DJ something you could incorporate? Did he have a favourite venue or record label?
I love Mac or Mack in general.
Hope I have given you some ideas x

Drew
Mack
Ru (pronounce rew)
Ando
Dandy
Anderson
Andrew in a different language (Andreas/andras= Welsh, Andre= French)
