Drew

Drew used to be thought of mainly a nickname for the masculine name Andrew, but, largely due to the fame of actress Drew Barrymore, it's also being thought of, and sometimes used as, a name for girls. Drew is also a surname, and I've mentioned many times before the tradition of using a female relative's maiden name as the given name for a child. Drew Barrymore is an example of this tradition; she was given the maiden name of her great-grandmother. In its normal masculine form, Drew is given as a name in its own right (not as a short form of Andrew) often enough in the U.S. to remain in the top 300, and sometimes the top 200, names for baby boys. And, the masculine form doesn't seem to have lost any popularity as a result of the name being associated more often with a woman. Drew as a given name for a girl has been appearing in the U.S. top 1000 for girls, but so far it has never made it into the top 500, and it doesn't seem to be gaining any popularity. For girls, this is a very rare name. Whether it will remain so is anyone's guess.
