Andreas. Flows better. :)

FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite · 17/04/2017 10:03

I like Andreas :)

Went to school with a really nice boy named Andreas and never met a nasty one...

OdinsLoveChild · 17/04/2017 10:06

Anders, I like Scandinavian names. Grin

QuodPeriitPeriit · 17/04/2017 10:08

Anders, much prefer it.

Anders means different in German Smile

Anders, cool name.

As soon as I read Anders my mind thought of Anders Breivik who committed the 2011 Norwegian terrorist attacks killing 77 people. I'm not saying you shouldn't just sharing where my mind went, I can't think of anyone else I know of even remotely with that name. Xx

Definitely Andreas, it's lovely.

My ds is Anders so I'm a bit biased!

maitaimojito · 17/04/2017 12:21

Anders

We have Andres au pairing for us at the mo from Spain. It is pronounced Andreas.

Love the guy and love the name!

Anders

Andreas may be mistaken as Andrea (and as a girl)

Lemondrop09 · 17/04/2017 22:06

Andreas. It's a lovely name

I'm afraid my first thought was Anders Brevik too

DramaAlpaca · 17/04/2017 22:13

I prefer Andreas, but Anders is nice too.

grufallosfriend · 18/04/2017 08:28

How about Andrew, the English version?

VintagePerfumista · 18/04/2017 08:34

Do you have Scandinavian or German connections?

If not, I wouldn't, especially if you are in the UK as you'll have a lifetime of him having to spell it (both are easy enough to spell, but people seem to automatically go into a flap with a furrin name) and him being teased and called Andrea.

BasicBetty · 18/04/2017 12:08

Definitely Andreas - fab name.

Alisvolatpropiis · 18/04/2017 12:10

Anders

Anders

BaffledMummy · 19/04/2017 20:05

I like both...for me it would depend on the surname - to me Anders goes with a short one syllable name....Andreas goes with more a more flowy name.

Andreas
