Talk:Andrea

Andrea in Italy

My name is Andrea, and I visited Italy for 2 months once. It was very odd being female, yet having a common male name. I was suddenly able to understand how my brother feels being named Taylor in the US, where Taylor is most commonly used for females! Perhaps it is time we took a move toward the unisexation of naming, so as to avoid the embarassment and confusion that gender-specific naming creates so often in our global comunity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.14.247.138 (talk) 16:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Indeed Andrea is a common male name (in 2004 it's the third most used male name for new born child's), but it is also used sometimes as a female name. The only other country I know about it's use in the male form is Albany.AndreaPlanet (talk) 13:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, i'm a half italian male, living in the UK, and i'm named Andréa! I like the name, it represents my italian heritage, but i do feel like i have to explain it! - Andréa Avena

Evidence?

"Women named Andrea are very womanly."

Serbia?

Serbia is mentioned as having Andrea as a female name, below that the male name is Andreja. I ask someone who is competent to clarify and unify the statements. --KnightMove (talk) 12:38, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

It's pretty much the same thing as in Croatia with the exception that masculine forms other than Andrej are rather rarely used. IMO there's no point in complicating matters by separating the two. --94.189.226.111 (talk) 23:41, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
