Names to honor Andrew

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 ✨💕

Really? I've never heard of it 😂 Yeah, I liked Drew and Anders too but wasn't sure if there was any other options. Want to make sure his name is definitely in there somewhere and somehow 😂🥰 x

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

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

i love Drew as a way to honor someone named Andrew! Mack would also be cute. 💙

other ideas:

Drew/Dru.
Anders.
Anderson.
Andreas.
André.
Andro.
Ando.
Mackai/Makai.
Mackinley.
Mackay/Mckay.
Mackenzie.
Macallister.
Macauley.
Maccabee.
Mackson/Makson/Macson.
MacKellar/McKellar.
Mackenna.
Maksimillian.
Macmillan.
Macbeth.
McKay.
Maksim.
Macsen.

Max/Maxwell/Maximus/Maxim/Maximillian/Maxy/Maxie - Max sounds very similar to Mack.

i also like the idea of Roux/Rue/Roo - like "Rew" at the end of Andrew - or a name like Reuben/Rupert/Rufus that contains that "Rew" sound.

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?
