  3. Every single person we have met since our little boy, Hans, was born last year have only said good things about it. We were a little nervous about getting funny looks, living in England; however we have had a thoroughly positive experience thus far. His nickname is “Hansi” 🙂 We love that Hans is fairly uncommon but not weird or unusual.

  6. Family history

  7. We loved that Hans went well with his brother’s name, Christian. We also have a friend named Hans so that definitely helped to inspire us to use the name. The only down side to the name is the fact that many people don’t know how to spell the name when making it plural or possessive, but we haven’t once regretted our decision to name our baby Hans. It’s such a solid name for a man, which is what he will eventually be!

    • Denis (Den ee) *French* & Padraic (Pothrig) *Irish Gaelic* are tough first and middle names. Even family spells them wrong! Hans is a Great name
