I like Hans Holbein, so I like it. The thing I worry about is the Han Solo reference that might follow a kid around. Even though it is not the same name, and Han Solo isn't a bad character really. I can just see it.

It is not that bad though for sure. I'd take Hans over Jaeden any day.

LOL I wrote "Hands over Jaeden".

I dislike Hans, but maybe that's because it's quite dated and 'dusty' here in Sweden. Is the kind of name you parents have, not small children :P
I also dislike it because in Swedish it's also a word meaning "his". The word and the name isn't pronounced the same though....

I personally love the name Hans. I love the connection to Hans Christian Anderson and Hans Matheson. Hans Matheson is a Scottish actor, he's very handsome.

Well, I don't think it's a bad name but it's nothing special. Where I live Hans was the most common masculine given name for decades. It's rarely given to babies these days, probably because it's perceived as dated and not very creative.

I like Hans! I prefer Lars (which I consider similar in style to Hans), though.
