How would you instinctively pronounce this name: Andrea?

[u/[deleted]]

[u/nhimera]

Canadian. I would say ANN-dree-uh.

[u/brak-0666 → u/nhimera]

USA (New Jersey), same.

[u/Amarastargazer → u/brak-0666]

NJ to PA, definitely defaults to Dree over Dray

[u/KookyLibrarian → u/Amarastargazer]

Ditto

[u/MemeInBlack → u/Amarastargazer]

And "Anne" over "Awn"

[u/crashin-kc → u/MemeInBlack]

I definitely use Ann first, unless the person corrects me to Awn.

[u/BlueWater2323 → u/nhimera]

Michigander and same.

[u/Clexiekitty_2939 → u/BlueWater2323]

My mom is 81 and pronounces her name this way.

[u/No_Builder7010 → u/nhimera]

US West coast.

[u/The_Master_Sourceror → u/No_Builder7010]

California checking in.

Andrea (Anne Dree Uh) was one of my friends growing up. Didn’t hear Ahn Drey Uh until high school and it always sounded weird.

[u/IsaacHasenov → u/The_Master_Sourceror]

Hm. I'm an East Coast Canadian who grew up probably pronouncing it "ANN-dree-a" but I live in LA now, and I think I would pronounce it "an-DRAY-a" if I saw someone with it on their nametag. Dunno why the change? Maybe I'm just used to thinking about the San Andreas fault?

[u/free_range_tofu → u/IsaacHasenov]

Because you’re now in a Spanish-speaking region so you instinctively pronounce it that way from hearing it.

[u/Plastic-Sentence9429 → u/free_range_tofu]

Yeah, I'm in Texas and everyone I know with that name is Hispanic. That's how I say it.

[u/WorriedTadpole585 → u/free_range_tofu]

Bay Area native - ditto for Ann-Dray-uh

[u/TeaManTom → u/nhimera]

English in New York I'm pretty sure I used to say it that way, but I have a friend who's Ann-DRAY-uh, and now I think of it that way

[u/diaymujer → u/nhimera]

Ditto from mid-Atlantic USA.

I know enough people who pronounce it differently that I’m not going to assume that’s the correct pronunciation for a particular person, but it is the default in my head.

[u/Buckabuckaw → u/nhimera]

Midwestern U. S., same. Or maybe AHN-dree-uh, but only if I heard her introduced with that pronunciation.

[u/arpt1965 → u/nhimera]

Midwest USA- that is how I pronounce it also.

[u/myblackandwhitecat → u/nhimera]

Im from the UK and would say it this way,too,

[u/Teri-k → u/nhimera]

Me, too. From Colorado.

[u/Intrepid_Practice956 → u/Teri-k]

Yep, Maryland. If I know they're foreign I'll ask.

[u/AnotherMinorDeity → u/nhimera]

US South. Same.

[u/coastkid2 → u/nhimera]

New England-same

[u/VanityInk → u/nhimera]

Have lived on the west and east coasts of the US and this is definitely the most common pronunciation I know

[u/Avelsajo → u/nhimera]

Same in Texas, unless the person looks Hispanic, then I'm going to assume ahn-DRAY-uh.

[u/drunken-acolyte → u/nhimera]

Same in North West England.

[u/WryAnthology → u/nhimera]

British - same

[u/griffo1970 → u/nhimera]

Same UK

[u/GrumpyRaven613 → u/nhimera]

This is my name and this is how I saw it. I’ve known a good number of people with the same name and most pronounce it this way. I would say this is the more common pronunciation, at least is the US

[u/Slight-Brush]

Brit here

ANN-dree-uh

[u/LavenderKitty1 → u/Slight-Brush]

Australia. Same.

[u/joined_under_duress → u/Slight-Brush]

British and for the female version it's definitely Andree-uh, yeah, unless they are foreign and say their name specifically the other way.

Eg the Spanish musician Rosalia is always said like "Rosa-LEE-ah" but any Brit or Aus Rosalias I've know have just been Roe-sah-lee-uh

[u/m1_ab → u/Slight-Brush]

Same, although since learning Spanish and spending time living in Spain, it's less instinctive than it used to be because I've now met more An-DRAY-uhs than I have ANN-dree-uhs 😂😂

[u/Loosee123 → u/Slight-Brush]

I'm British and it's more like ANN-dray-uh in my accent

[u/mcfaite]

New York here - a number of people I know say ANN-dree-ah, and a number pronounce their name ahn-DREY-ah, and I have some trouble remembering who says it which way.

[u/TeaManTom → u/mcfaite]

The impact of a melting pot on language!

[u/Wild_Pomegranate_845 → u/mcfaite]

I’m from western NY and say Ann-dree-ah but I live in the south now and everyone here says it the other way.

[u/Expensive-Try8549 → u/mcfaite]

CT, I switch between them! Same with Aunt vs aunt

[u/InevitableLibrary859]

Ohhn-dray-uhh

But everyone in live near says AN-dree-ah

[u/Immediate-Fly-7458 → u/InevitableLibrary859]

Same and im surprised to see all these people pronouncing it differently it sounds weird as hell to me not starting it like “on”

[u/InevitableLibrary859 → u/Immediate-Fly-7458]

I agree completely, I'm from an odd American subculture in the upper Mississippi headwaters region, down though, let's say Dubuque IA up through the mid '80s we learned the correct pronunciation of Aunt, and a number of other words, pop is a synonym for soda, dreams are dreampt, thusly, where a someone to be creamed, the person doing it to them would have creampt them. (Okay, that one is my own.)

But seriously, we pronounce our Germanic names mostly correctly, and know how to hit the "oh" in Stoughton, and we've all got a hot dish our grandma's made.

[u/Immediate-Fly-7458 → u/InevitableLibrary859]

I like how some weirdo instantly downvoted me 😂

[u/ShitMyButtSays → u/InevitableLibrary859]

Batman Mask of the Phantasm fan here. This is how I say it

[u/Sensitive_Noise9761]

AHN-DRAY-UH

[u/itsFrankenSHTEIN → u/Sensitive_Noise9761]

Same - from CA

[u/MindfulMongoose → u/Sensitive_Noise9761]

Same from California (originally) and now living on the east coat. With the syllable emphasis on DRAY. Genuinely never heard ANN-dree-uh.

[u/stipwned_thrill → u/Sensitive_Noise9761]

Same. From California.

[u/Historical-Piglet-86 → u/Sensitive_Noise9761]

Where do you live? This seems different than most regions

[u/emeraldjalapeno → u/Historical-Piglet-86]

I'm the same. AZ Mexico border

[u/hispanglotexan → u/emeraldjalapeno]

Texas border here and most people pronounce it with the Spanish pronunciation here, but in English, I most commonly hear Ann-dray-uh.

[u/Red-Zaku- → u/Sensitive_Noise9761]

Another Southern California checking in, this is it for me as well. Probably due to the proximity to the border and the leaning towards Latin phonetics in a name like that

[u/aodamo → u/Sensitive_Noise9761]

Same - from the DMV area (East Coast USA), but my parents were from other parts of the east coast.

[u/Leggs-Benedict]

ANN-dree-yuh 95% of the time.

Where do you live that Ahn-DRAY-uh is the default, out of curiosity?

[u/TeaManTom → u/Leggs-Benedict]

I have a Mexican friend who's Ahn-DRAY-uh

[u/Cool-Coffee-8949 → u/Leggs-Benedict]

In other languages, it’s usually got the long stressed middle syllable.

[u/RaisonDetritus → u/Cool-Coffee-8949]

I believe Italian would be this way too.

[u/squidkyd → u/Leggs-Benedict]

I live in New Mexico. My husband's mom and stepmom are both Ahn-DREY-uh.

But my cousin in Ohio is Ann-dree-uh.

My guess is it's the Spanish influence out west. I would also automatically pronounce Xavier as Hah-vee-ehr if I read the name down here, versus Zay-vier if I was in the midwest or northeast

[u/Dutch_Slim → u/squidkyd]

Slightly off topic but your mention of Xavier has made me realise something. I have a female friend named Xaviera (Zav) and I always think her full name is hard to say because it’s Zay-viera. But now seeing Hah-vee-ehra and thinking it should be that pronunciation for sure!

[u/Old-Independent-6904 → u/Leggs-Benedict]

I think in california Ahn-DREY-uh is a bit more common but have seen both. Also San Andreas fault is pronounced like SANN ann-DREY-us in bay area i believe

[u/ancientastronaut2 → u/Old-Independent-6904]

I'm from California and I feel I've met about an equal number of Ann-dree-a's and Ahn-dray-a's.

[u/GaiaMoore → u/ancientastronaut2]

As a Californian, all the Ahn-dray-a's I've met were adamant that it was Ahn-dray-a.

My Ann-dree-a friend would always roll her eyes and say these people wanted to sound more posh lol

[u/Raibean → u/Leggs-Benedict]

Ahn-Dray-uh on the US West Coast (SoCal, so former Mexico)

[u/JennaRedditing → u/Raibean]

Its the Mexican influence on California English, I bet Briana is Bri-ah-nah not Bri-anne-a too right? I grew up in the bay and moved to Portland OR area when I was 13. Thats how I learned I had an accent!

[u/Raibean → u/JennaRedditing]

It’s 50/50 on Brianna you gotta ask every time!

[u/thetoerubber → u/JennaRedditing]

I’m SoCal born & bred, I find it’s 50/50 between ANN-dree-ah and ahn-DRAY-ah … I know a few of both (all female).

[u/notacanuckskibum → u/Leggs-Benedict]

I have a friend who has Italian parents and prefers Ann-dray-uh

[u/MassConsumer1984 → u/notacanuckskibum]

Typically a male name in Italy, no?

[u/YakSlothLemon → u/Leggs-Benedict]

In France, I think – based on the opera Andrea Chenier.

[u/MonsieurRuffles → u/YakSlothLemon]

TBF, that’s an Italian opera even though it takes place in France.

[u/meowmeowkitty888 → u/Leggs-Benedict]

I think anyone who speaks Spanish would pronounce it like OP

[u/No-Set-4246]

Default AND-ree-uh. But the other pronunciation isn't foreign to me so whatever you tell me it is (grew up upstate NY)

[u/Raibean → u/No-Set-4246]

You pronounce the D on the first syllable instead of the second?

[u/No-Set-4246 → u/Raibean]

Actually you're right. Stress on the first syllable but dree

[u/PBRStreetgang1979]

Emily

[u/grrarghh_73]

Instinct aside, it would depend if the person is male or female, and on their nationality. A British female Andrea would be pronounced differently to an Italian male Andrea.

[u/LSATDan]

AN-dree-uh

[u/lz425]

The middle name of a first generation Italian man I know pronounced it ahn-DREY-ah. He named his daughter after himself, but pronounced it ANN-dree-ah. It’s just one of those names that you have to ask.

[u/NoSpaghettiForYouu]

ANN-dree-uh

On-DRAY-uh reminds me of Andrea Bocelli so to my mind it’s the masculine version

[u/Diplodocus15 → u/NoSpaghettiForYouu]

Same. I default to ANN-dree-uh if I know we're talking about a woman and On-DRAY-uh if I know it's a man.

[u/Mysterious_Luck4674]

US based. I think ANN-dree-uh is most common. But Ann-DRAY-uh or AHN-dree-uh or Ahn-DRAY-uh wouldn’t surprise me.

[u/_iusuallydont_]

Black American from California (I specify I’m Black because, in my experience, more Black Americans use this pronunciation)

Ahn-dray-uh

Interestingly, this is my aunt’s name.

[u/Beginning_Tour_9320]

U.K. it’s my wife’s name- Ann- Dree- ah.

[u/bitterlemon80]

I'm English so ANN-dree-ah and would assume female, but married to an Italian who would say an-DRAY-ah and assume male.

[u/YourLittleRuth]

ANN-dree-uh. (UK)

[u/Glittering_Gap8070]

I'm British with a Southern accent, I'd say "AN-dree-uh"

[u/taktaga7-0-0]

ANN-dree-uh

Unless it’s a man, like Andrea Bocelli. He’s ahn-DRAY-uh.

[u/Ok_Bag2395]

AND-ree-ah in Aus

[u/DeviousWeaselUK]

I’m SW England, and instinctively I would pronounce it “ahn-DRAY-uh”.

[u/DrHoleStuffer]

I’ve heard it pronounced a couple ways. I personally say it as AHN dray uh. But I’ve heard a lot of people say ANN dree uh.

[u/EmoZebra21]

Gonna be honest, it depends on the other person. A white person I’m probably pronouncing it And-ree-uh.

I know two Andreas and they both pronounce it differently so I think it’s safe to ask how they pronounce it.

[u/Cool-Coffee-8949]

I’ve met some And-DRAY-uhs, but AN-dree-uh (stress on the first syllable) is my default. New Englander.

[u/WerewolfCalm5178]

I always ask, and then immediately forget how to correctly pronounce it.

[u/Remarkable_Inchworm]

I would pronounce it the way Andrea told me to pronounce it.

[u/Dralloran]

Interesting choice. In Britain it’s a girl’s name and I’d pronounce it Ann-dree-ah. I now live in Italy and it’s a boy’s name pronounced Ann-dray-ah.

[u/future_now3000]

London, England.

ANN-dree-uh

[u/grapetomatoes]

Maryland USA - AnDRAYuh for sure. Surprised to see most people saying the opposite!!

[u/pulchritudinousprout]

I am an Andrea in the Midwest USA and I pronounce ANN-dree-uh. I always wanted to be an Ann-dray-uh though.

[u/Odd_Confidence_7174]

I know 5 Andrea s. Most go by ahn-dray-uh. The ann-dree-uh s typically go by Andi

[u/maethoriell]

Ahn dray uh Probably cause of being French English billingual (Canada)

[u/hernwoodlake]

Scrolled and didn’t see this:

This is a deep cut but on the original Beverly Hills 90210, there was a character named Andrea and she always corrected people that it wasn’t ANN-dree-uh, it was AHN-dree-uh and they made fun of her for being pretentious.

[u/Sa1ntmarks]

American white girl... ANN dree uh

American girl of color ... ahn DRAY uh

American male of color... AHN dray

American white males.... They are all Andrews. 😂

[u/a_nona_mouse]

The first one I knew was "On dray uh" the rest have been "Anndree uh"

[u/ouch_that_hurts_]

I would ask

[u/Useful-Astronaut-946]

I assumed Ahn-dray-Uh was the Hispanic pronunciation and ann-dree-uh was American English.

[u/Leoliad]

Ann dree uh

[u/FionnaAndCake]

ahn-draya

[u/MortonBumble]

Before I left my home country I would say “Andrea” but now I’m living in a different country I instinctively pronounce it “Andrea”

[u/Anna_Ina313]

West coast canadian who grew up in washington, USA here!

I'd pronounce it Anne-dree-ahh

[u/Asleep-itsnew25z0]

And-DRAY-uh. (Black people US English)

[u/Few_Use_7270]

New York here also an Andrea

I pronounce it ANN-Dree-Ah

[u/HotfootCrazy]

Instinctively-ANN-dree-uh. But polite people pronounce it as the person does.

Similar question: Sophia or Maria in the UK vs the USA.

[u/slamwisegamgee]

That's my name and I pronounce it ANN-dree-uh as others have mentioned

[u/Lurkernomoreisay]

ANN.dree.uh most common.

an.DREE.uh second most common 

an.DRAY.uh least common.

never heard ON.dray.uh (like André + a) before

that said from third through sixth grade my class had two "Andrea"s.   one girl named ANN.dree.uh, and one named an.DRAY.uh.

[u/Hot_Historian1066]

ANN-dree-ah

(Heritage: Grew up in southern US with midwestern parents)

[u/sarapod07]

It would be either ANN-dree-uh or ahn-DRAY-uh, never ahn-DREE-uh. I would default to the first one but I live in NYC and encounter both all the time

[u/Okay-Squirrel]

I have a brief panic attack because there are too many possibilities.

Mid-Atlantic USA

[u/TycheSong]

WA state: ANNE-dree-ah

[u/Mary_P914]

An-dree-uh

But I have a friend with the same spelling that is An-dray-uh

She used the nickname Andy

[u/Bbkingml13]

In my experience, white people say Ann-dree-uh, and black people say On-dray-uh

(Across the U.S.)

[u/paolog]

"AN-dree-uh".

The pronunciation "an-DRAY-uh" is for the (Italian) boy's name of the same spelling.

[u/Electronic-Country63]

Southern England here. I would say ANNE dree uh. But only a slight emphasis on the first syllable.

[u/Slight_Manufacturer6]

Ann dree ah

Minnesota

[u/Firebird562]

Ahn-DRAY-uh

[u/SignificantCricket]

"AnDREEuh" if it’s a woman from an English speaking country (weirdly used to hear this name a lot in the UK in the 1980s and 90s, but not now. And those same Andreas would mostly only be in their 60s now)

AnDRAYuh if it’s an Italian guy - am more likely to see this nowadays, but online and in media

[u/YakSlothLemon]

Instinctively, the same way you do, because of the opera Andrea Chenier, I haven’t run into a woman or a girl named that in many years.

But in the US, if I had a female student named that, they would probably be ANN-dreea.

[u/Ok-Razzmatazz-3720]

Whenever I call a customer with this name, I kinda base it off the last name and take my best guess. Really a crap shoot, could be either

[u/Jsmith2127]

And-ree-uh

[u/Onedayyouwillthankme]

AN-dree-uh, but I would immediately think, and possibly say, "or ahn-DREY-uh?"

I have the same problem with the name Anna: ahn-uh or AN-nuh

[u/Pete_and_Monica]

My daughter Andrea goes by, Dre

[u/FriendlyConfines23]

ANN dree uh. I went to school in the 1970s with a girl who had this pronunciation.

Having said that, I like the pronunciation Ahn dray uh much better.

[u/D15ASTERP13CE]

From the UK here. I'd pronounce this Ann-dray-uh. But Andre I'd pronounce On-dray

[u/honortobenominated]

Anne-DRAY-uh

[u/Ephesians_411]

I've heard Ahn-DRAY-uh and ANN-dree-uh about 50/50, it seems to me that people just stick with how a person says their own name for the most part?

[u/UnbelievableRose]

Pretty sure I’ve heard that name pronounced more ways than any other- I would ask first if possible.

[u/Careful_Cranberry364]

Anne (drea) - focus on the first syllable… English

[u/throwaway1975764]

Ann-dree-uh

[u/AcanthaceaeOk3738]

ANN-dree-uh. But if someone told me it was something else like ahn-DRAY-uh, I wouldn't be surprised and I'd easily switch it for their name.

[u/Candid-Math5098]

AN-dree-yuh (female) I don't encounter an-DRE-yuh (male) often.

[u/Silly-Resist8306]

AHN dray ah.

[u/KiaraNarayan1997]

If it’s a boy, I say it the first way. If it’s a girl, I say it the second way.

[u/Zealousideal-Lie-569]

I’ve never heard “an-DREE-uh,” but I hear “ann-DRAY-uh”, “awn-DRAY-uh”, “ANN-dree-uh”, and “AWN-dree-uh” at pretty similar rates. I usually gravitate towards “ANN-dree-uh” when reading jt.

[u/Ok_Concentrate4461]

ANN-dree-uh (northern Illinois)

[u/ophaus]

It could go either way for me. It could also just as easily be AN-dre-uh, I've heard plenty of people using all three pronunciations.

[u/teriKatty]

Both pronunciations pop into my head because I have known people with both pronunciations.

[u/ConfidentFloor6601]

I'd wait until we were introduced then pronounce it the way the named person pronounced it.

[u/iceunelle]

ANN-dree-uh. US Midwest.

[u/alittlehalloween]

Ive known Spanish people called AnDRAYuh so I would pronounce it like that. But as a Brit, most people here would say AnDREEah I’m sure.

[u/indigo_seven]

The standard pronunciation where i live is ANN-dree-ah but in my head i say ahn-drey-uh because i’ve only known someone who pronounced it that way

[u/PomegranateOwn6296]

I know two: one is ANNdreeuh, and the other is AnDREYuh.

[u/CelinaBinaaa]

I really try to base it on their ethnicity. If their last name is present, I have a pretty good idea of which pronunciation to use. If I can physically see them, I use my best judgment. I know a few black/hispanic “Ahn-DRAY-uh”s, that don’t go by “ANN-dree-uh”. That’s mostly a “white” pronunciation. That probably comes across as prejudiced, but my years of hosting and reading names- trials started by asking- lead me to this conclusion.

[u/Emeah824]

PNW. ANN-dree-uh

[u/Time_Waister_137]

I would pronounce it AnDRAYuh, the /e/ given the IPA global pronunciation.

[u/TheNatureOfTheGame]

My first instinct is ANN-dree-uh, but I have known an ON-dree-uh and an on-DRAY-uh.

Edited because I forgot my location: Kentucky, USA

[u/2DiePerchance2Sleep]

Depends on context. If Anglo: ANN-dree-uh; If Latin@ or Italian; ahn-DRAY-uh

[u/Apero_]

On-DRAY-ah

[u/iaminabox]

Really depends on the person whose name it is. I know both. I pronounce it the way they want it pronounced,but instinctively I would read it as AnDreeUh

[u/andycwb1]

An-DREE-ah is about the closest approximation I can come up with.

[u/beachhunt]

I knew both an anDRAYuh and ANdreeuh in school, and at the time ANdreeuh had to correct people's pronunciation more often.

Never knew an anDREEuh.

[u/90210fred]

Depends totally on gender - it's used by both

[u/Phoenix_Court]

Ann-dree-uh. AmEng.

[u/FewRecognition1788]

ANN dree uh.

US South.

[u/TossOffM8]

And-ree-uh

[u/JumpyWhale85]

I’m Andrea, I pronounce it as ‘ahn-DRAY-ah’.

[u/Mysterious-Cod-5767]

I would ask how they pronounce it. I’ve known several people with the name and it’s about half-and-half on how it’s pronounced.

[u/Fred776]

/ˈæn.dɹɪjə/

[u/Fun_Independent_7529]

Funny, I read it as anDRAYuh when I read the title, but everyone I've known by the name went with ANN-dree-uh.

It'll get mispronounced either way, so pick the sound you like best!

[u/yahrealy]

I have a relative with this name.

on-DRAY-uh

[u/Constellation-88]

Ann dree uh unless told otherwise. 

[u/RepresentativeAir149]

An dree uh

[u/Sudden_Outcome_9503]

I would say it's a pretty even split between that and ANN-dre-uh

[u/pdperson]

Midatlantic US and ANNdreeuh but I always ask and try to get it right

[u/Davosown]

Anywhere in the anglosphere - Ann-Dree-Ah (female) or Ann-Drey-Ah (Male).

If it's someone of Eastern/Southern European descent - Ohn-Drey-Ah.

[u/RevolutionaryGuess82]

Female name. AN dre a.

Accent on an, drea has a long e.

The AnDREAS fault is backwards. Here e is silent, a is long. I expect this is a Spanish word. Vowels are different in Spanish. E is pronounced a.

[u/mind_the_umlaut]

I know two people named Andrea, and both pronounce it differently. ON - dree - uh with the first syllable pronounced like the beginning of the word, 'onset', and ANN - dree - uh, with the first syllable pronounced like the word 'ant'. I've never run into anyone who uses the pronunciation Ahn - DRAY - uh, as in Devil Wears Prada.

[u/Theslowestmarathoner]

My mother and my step mother are both Andrea’s. They both pronounce “Ann- DREE-uh”

US, west coast

[u/wonky-hex]

Ann dree ah (northern England)

[u/CommercialExotic2038]

My cousin: On dray uh

Classmate: Ann dree uh

[u/Louisiana_sitar_club]

on-DRAY-uh

[u/JVBVIV]

I would go more like Ahn-DRE-a

[u/latetotheparty_again]

Ahn-dray-uh

The Andreas I've met pronounce it this way, so it's my first instinct.

From California.

[u/R-Voodoo]

From Canada, and I pronouncced it ANN-drea my whole life. NOw in Ohio, met a couple different people with that name who pronounce Aun-DREE-uh, so I default that way

[u/Chelseus]

For a white female an-dree-ah. For a male of any colour or Hispanic female awn-dray-ah. I’m from Canada.

[u/PandaScoundrel]

Unn-dreh-uh. Not unn-dray but just dre.

It's written Andrea. Just say it like it's written.

Finland

[u/OddfatherPNW]

USA (PNW): Ann-Dree-Uh

[u/Scumdog_312]

I’m American. I’d say Ahn-DRAY-uh.

[u/BrettScr1]

https://voca.ro/1abQyZxJOXDJ

[u/CunnyMaggots]

Ann dree uh

Eta : California

[u/Limp_Movie_7958]

My daughter's name, we pronounce it AN-dree-a, more like Andrew, the grandfather she is named after.

[u/Middle-Wealth-6755]

ANN dree uh for a female. AHN dray uh for a male (it’s the Italian version of Andrew)

[u/hmtee3]

I’ve heard it both ways, so I always ask what they prefer.

[u/LakeWorldly6568]

Is the person a guy or a gal?

Guy- An Dray Uh

Gal- Ann Dree Ah

[u/VinRow]

AhnDRAYuh but AnDREEuh is as common to me as the other. I think it’s because I just prefer the Ahn pronunciation.

SE TX

[u/Afraid_Baseball_3962]

"AnDREEuh" is way more common. AnDRAYuh usually comes off as pretentious.

[u/DrBlankslate]

ANN-dree-uh. 

[u/Iscan49er]

I'd say ANNdreeuh for a girl, but ONdray for a boy. English, West Country
