About Dru
Short, sharp, and utterly distinctive, Dru breaks every conventional rule about baby names—and that's exactly why it works. This ultra-compact choice packs serious personality into just three letters. It's androgynous without being ambiguous, modern without trying too hard, simple without being simplistic. Dru suits a child who'll forge her own path, uninterested in fitting predetermined molds. The name's brevity is its superpower; there's nowhere to hide, nothing to soften it, just pure, undiluted identity. It stands out on class rosters, résumés, and everywhere in between. While some parents might worry about choosing something too unconventional, Dru has enough history to feel legitimate while remaining refreshingly rare. Perfect for those who want their daughter's name to be a conversation starter, a statement, a declaration of individuality from day one.
