[Opinions] Re: His name was Hans Christian AndersEn
in reply to a message by Ylva
Sorry
Would you know ... tell me if I am just being ignorant, is Andersen just a varient of Anderson (or vice versa)? I.e. does it mean the same thing?
About using Hans and Christian ... even though I am a Christian myself; I wouldn't use the name Christian just like I wouldn't use the word Pagan, it has never seemed right to me
Hans I have pretty bad personal associations with this name, althought I had thought about it
Thanks :)
