About the Name Drew

The name Drew's root letters are DR.

The letter D may be associated with the upstanding aspects of dignity and discipline, but also has its shadowy side. When coupled with the carnal ardor of the randy, ribald, racy, roguish letter R, for example, an astonishingly high percentage of DR adjectives embody some kind of dark aspect: drained, dreadful, dreck, drunk, drivel, drool, drone, droop, drub, drug, drown, and drastic. Perhaps this gloomy resonance explains why there are no names (with the exception of Drew) that begin with a DR -- without a vowel appearing between the two letters. These are people with a powerful sense of self, a dark side second to none, and a mysterious sexual quality that proves irresistible to a select group of people.

These are no-nonsense names that belong to no-nonsense people. One of the Drews’ greatest strengths is their ability to view the world without illusions. When things aren’t going well, you’re gonna hear about it with no punches pulled. And if you don’t like what you hear, it’s really not their problem; you’ll be expected to grow out of it. From their perspectives, they’re not being unkind… simply honest. And because they really appreciate frankness and candor in others, you should always tell Drews what’s on your mind even if you’re not wild about their new haircut.

Did we mention a mysterious sexual quality? The Drews’ direct method of confrontation isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of chamomile but there’s a definite core of people who are powerfully attracted to their style. And these people find befriending Drews to be easy, for Drews tend to be open and trusting (even somewhat gullible). For like most people who are honest to their core, Drews rarely bother to put up barriers.

With their unshakable believe in themselves and a corresponding love for adventure, most people aren’t surprised when Drews take unexpected turns in their lives. If you haven’t seen your DR friend in a few years, chances are, he or she has changed jobs, gotten a new relationship, or moved to another city. But while their career paths may be varied, once Drews are in their groove they can make money as effortlessly as the US. Mint.

Drews believe humor to be just another form of honesty, so their abrupt style of candor makes for great story telling… albeit usually with a self-deprecating premise. When it comes to their intimate affairs, ‘opposites attract’ may not be the best motto here, for Drews need spouses with energy to match their own. Fortunately, their whimsical outlooks often extend to the bedroom where Drews prove to be spontaneous and adventurous lovers and full of naughty surprises.
