The story of Andree
A Swede with this surname tried to reach the North Pole in a balloon and vanished. He and two companions lifted off from Spitsbergen in eighteen ninety-seven, the balloon iced up and came down within days, and they walked and drifted south across the pack ice until they died on an island that autumn. Nothing was heard for thirty-three years, when a sealing ship found the camp: the bodies, the diaries, and rolls of exposed film. The film was developed and most of it came out. There are photographs of the crashed balloon taken by men who did not survive the week.
Meaning
of a man; manly
Greek, built on the word for an adult male. The irony of a feminine ending on that particular stem is genuine and was presumably invisible to everyone involved.

Fashion outlook
Andree sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.

The trade-off
- The double e removes an ambiguity the accentless spelling creates.
- Dre works as a short form and is entirely current.
- The name travels across most of Europe unchanged.
- In French this is the woman's spelling, which travelers will notice.
- The record holds girls as well, and the girl is the smaller side.
- The stress is genuinely unsettled between the two readings.
