Hi Rasheed,
yes, Andrea is a male name in Italy. You're right that it is a female name in
most of the rest of (modern) world, it's an unfortunate situation like for
norwegian (I think) "Connie". Since Andrea derives from the greek word for "man",
I would say italians got it right on this one.
> PS I dont mean anything by this, believe me, but is Andrea a boy or a girl?
> I always thought Andrea was a girl's name, yet everyone refers to them as
> 'him.' not that it makes a difference or anything, im just wondering.

> PPS 'rasheed' is a boy's name, in case anyone was wondering.
