        Pretty sure it's because Andy = Android...

        That's exactly as tenuous as thinking "Robby" must be a reference to Doctor Who, which featured a bunch of robots named the Daleks.

    I thought its a Blade Runner reference because Google's reference phones are called Nexus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replicant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replicant
