What do you think of Hansie?

I've always really liked the name Hansie.

Do you think it's ok for an English boy - no Scandinavian or Dutch links etc.

Also I'm not keen on nicknames as official names, would you put Johan or Johannes on the birth cert. even though I don't love either of them?

interesting x-post re. pansy!

Ah, yes, Hans is good.

Hans is fine for a boy, but not Hansie! It's far too much like Pansie/hankie.

Never heard of it before.

How do you pronounce it? DOn't like the sound of it tbh. Might be rhymed with pansy by teasing kids?
