35.0. "ANDREA(S)" by 50279::THIMM (Andreas Thimm, SAM Frankfurt, @FRO) Fri Aug 15 1986 12:20

    Hello Everybody from "Good Old" Germany!
    
    
    I've got just three reasons to answer to your fantastic (but yet
    a bit thin) "Database":
    
    - My Name isn't yet registered,
    
    - My Birthday is the day this notefile was created (not the year
      of course),
    
    - I'm ALSO becoming father however not of twins.
    
    
    Ad Res:
    
    My first name is ANDREAS.
                                                                
    This name with all its mutations like Andy, Andrew, Andrea (for
    girls) or others comes from the Greece mythology; it means as mutch
    as strong or brave.
                                                                
    (They say not always the name meets the person it wears...) 
                                                                
    ANDREAS is reportet for a very long time (e.g. remember the third
    apostel, the brother of Simon Petrus) and was in the last years
    one of the most choosen ones. (Astonishly this is also valid for
    the "DDR", the so-called "German ""Democratic"" ""Republic""").
    
    I think this should be enough for now; if you have more interest
    in the name ANDREAS or do know more data about it: REPLY!
    
    
    
    greeting
    
    Andreas  (I think you know now!)

35.1Andrew = Anders in Svenske?24595::RPGDOCHave pen, will travelMon Aug 18 1986 18:386
    We named our son Andrew with the thought that it was Celtic, but
    inadvettantly, it's also his maternal grandfather's name.  We
    overlooked this (or at least I did) because my father-in-law goes
    by A. Delebert Peterson.  He's actually the fifth generation on
    his mother's side with this name if you include "Anders" although
    someone said that "Anders" in Svenske is not the same name as "Andrew".

    my name is Andrea. I have been told that it means womanly. I love my
    name. It used to be quite uncommon but I've noticed alot of little
    girls have been named that.
