what do you think of the name...
anders. for a boy, obv.
(no, i'm not pregnant nor ttc. hubz & i just like talking about names)
does your opinion change if his dad has strong scandinavian heritage (and thus a very scandinavian last name)?
Re: what do you think of the name...
I like it. One of the bloggers I read named her son that. But if the baby would have a very Scandinavian last name, would that be a little TOO Scandinavian? Would you call him Anders, or something else (Andy)?
We have a very Dutch last name and we're trying to stay away from Dutch first names (but doing them as middle names instead).

we'd call our hypothetical future son Anders. No nickname. i'm not too concerned about the overly scandy name as anders is at least easy to say & spell (unlike the last name).
the issue is that sprout is name after our grandfathers and there is no male names of significant family meaning leftover for another son. so, short of naming him oliver after a cute car on the UK Top Gear, we're kind of stuck!
i like it, though i also like andy as a nickname if kiddo wants it.
i have a very french/french-canadian last name and i'm actually glad that my first name is more american/anglicanized. my last name is butchered in writing and pronunciation all.the.time. (even though it's a lot easier to say than it looks).
if we were to have kids they'd have DH's last name (which is way easier to say/spell) and possibly more unique first/middle names.
I like it, especially if there is family meaning behind it. And, nerd alert, it reminds me of one of the characters in the new Battlestar Gallatica (yes, I warned you, I'm a nerd).
Stand up for something you believe in.
hey, i came her for opinions (and actually thought more would be in the "weird" camp). although, i'd like to point out that the last name (anderson/andersen) is actually b/c anders is a first name.
