Andru. Just NO. Hoping it's a typo, read it on a friend's reply on FB

Eben. nn Ebbie. Daughter of a friend on FB. At first I didn't care for it, but it is growing on me.

Evan, as pronounced when one has a cold.

LOL, yes.

My toddler is called Evan and he can't say his V's so well and when he says his name it comes out "Eben".

Huh. My friend has a dog named Eben. I'm not too fond of it.

I don't really like the spelling of Andru. That just reminds me of that lazy spelling that's becoming all too common.
Eben is a hit and miss for me. I like it as a boys name, but for a girl....I dunno. Maybe if I saw her I might think it was fitting for her.

It looks like someone misspelled Eden on the birth certificate...

Alexandru is the Romanian version of Alexander, so perhaps that's a nickname...then again, I'm probably giving them way too much credit.

I don't like either. Sadly people are naming their kids all kinds of f-ed up things. I was reading my hospital's e-cradle site (lists of baby names basically), and this poor girl got named Mattisyn.

I really dislike both Eben and the nn Ebbie. To me, it looks like someone made a typo for Eden/Debbie.

Edit to fix my typo! Oops! :)

Andru made me think of Elvis Andrus.

Not a fan of Eben, but I like Ebbie. But I also like most nicknames.
