"Andreas" for Boy?
Seems that there are quite many different ways to pronounce it... how should we call it indeed? "on-dree-as"? "ann-dree-as"? etc. etc.?
Would there be any bad nicknames associated with Andreas?
Answer:
I like the name Andreas for a guy. I know a guy with this name, he is of Greek heritage. He pronounces it On-dray-us. Nothing complicated about it at all.
sorry it sounds like a girls name to me.
do you want to give him a complex before he can even understand his own name?
ann-dree-as is fine
i guess it would depend on where you live!in greece ann-dree-as is a good strong man's name!!meaning courage!!but in the states it could be misinterpreted as Andrea which is a girl's name!
by the way i like the name Andreas!!
Andreas sounds like a girls name to me... how about Andre?
Andreas is a nice name. I really like it. I would pronounce it Ann-dree-as. And for that person who said that Andreas would be mistaken for a Andrea which she/he said is a girl's name. in Italy Andrea is also a boy's name. So go for it.it's really nice.
Sorry that sound like a girl name.. Try:
Adrian
Adrion
Adam
Andre'
Something along those lines
my name is andrea (an-dreeya) and i am a female but if you are thinking of Andreas for a boy then I am assuming you are hispanic or italian in that case Andreas is fine but if you are neither of these ethnicities then NO, because it will sound crazy, that name for a boy has a lot to do with culture
I know an Andreas. We call him Andy but he never told us his real name. He's a hottie with a big ego. ANN dre ***
it is very beautiful name
ist good go ahead
I have a handsome nephew named Andrious. It is pronounced on-dray-us. His Mom is Thai and his Dad is Caucasian/Native American. So if you like a name, it doesn't matter if it is "cultural" or not.
Andre, Andy or Dre/Dreas are the only nicknames I could imagine.
To me, it is a boys name. Good Luck!
I think how you pronounce it depending on your geographical location. I found that Andreas is not only an English name, it's also Finnish, German, Greek, Scottish, Swedish, and Welsh names.
Names with the same meaning as Andreas are : Anders, Andonis, Andor, Andre, Andrei, Andres, Andrey, .
I like the name but I think a more masculin option could be 'Andres' pronounced how it's spelt. It's the Spanish form of Andrew.
well there's technically one right way to. andre-us. and it definitely does not sound like a girl name. the only nickname i can come up with would be andre.
on-dray andre
Hello! Well I know of an Austrian Andreas. His name is pronounced "ahn-dray-us" and is nicknamed Andi ("ahn-dee").
Personally, I like the name and I think it sounds very masculine if it is pronounced properly.
I hate to say this...but children can be cruel. Think of what he's going to have to put up with in school. They are probably going to call him 'Andrea' and 'hey, girlie,' or something equally not-very-nice.
Also, I'm sorry, but the first thing I think of when I see 'Andreas', is the San Andreas fault. Maybe I'm weird, but I don't recommend it if you live in California.
Other than that (once I got over my weird little geography quirk...) it's a very nice name. But it IS a bit feminine. Why not Andrew? I know it's a little old-fashioned, but it's more masculine and there are less evil things children can make with it.
this is a great name. i would pronounce it (on-dray-us)
Pronounce it "on-dreh-ahs". "Ann-dree-as" sounds dumb, like you're talking about a bunch of girls named Andrea or something. The only bad nickname I can associate with Andreas is Andrea, and that's not THAT bad. What about the name André (on-dreh)? You kind of have to plug your nose and say it with a French-ish accent, but it sounds nice.
well andrea is a unisex name it is an italian name wich means manly but i like andres for boys personally and andrea(an-drey-a) or andrea,andria(an-dree-a)for girls
Earthquake San Andreas Fault.
I like it.it's Greek
