You can't be "andruw". You could be "andrw", pronounced with final [uw@],
as if your name was "andrewer" or "andrua". Or you could be "andrew",
pronounced with final [ew@].
Anyway, it seems rather rich of you to complain of being uglified by a
mere final U, when poor old John comes out as "Gzranq", and Paul as "Bfowol"!
