Why I go By Drew
My parents still call me Andrew, and I hated the nickname Andy. Always.
I labeled myself Drew in my teen years. I felt like a Drew. I thought I looked like a Drew. I have emerged into a Drew.
When my dad calls me Andrew, sometimes it doesn’t register. I’m used to Drew now.
Before I was legally changing my name to Awesomesauce, I was thinking of changing it to Drew. I sign Drew on a lot of things, but mostly Andrew. Doesn’t feel natural.
Do you go by your full name or a nickname and do you sometimes wish your legal name was your nickname?
