It's growing on me, too. I don't know if you're familiar with the play or Broadway show Spring Awakening, but one of the main characters is named Moritz. It's my favorite musical, so the name automatically brings to mind that character for me. That being said, considering what happens to him (don't want to give anything away if you haven't seen it) I'd be hesitant to actually use it. Another character is Melchior and that's growing on me, too. Wendla as well. I've just got Spring Awakening on the brain lately.

I have to agree about Melchior, that one has potential! Well, I do love Caspar & Balthasar already ;)I'm not familiar with the play but I'll be sure to google it.

Join the club!I love Maurice's dash and elan. Moritz is his hipper cousin. They'll come to a bad end, both of them. But oh what fun they'll have getting there.Only my lovely Muiris ("MYOOR-ish") will stay close to home. ETA: NewChloe and I might as well be the same person. I have exactly the same St. Moritz / jet-set ski resort picture in my mind as she does. Oh, and I forgot to add that Moritz reminds me of his more lyrical second-cousin Lauritz.

yaayI love Moritz. It's so... Euro-chic. It makes me think of the Peter Sellers Pink Panther movie - beautiful European socialites romping about on the slopes. In the 1960's of course, when there was still class involed in being a socialite. Bascially I think of this: http://www.artrepublic.com/prints/9153-saint-moritz.htmlSo to me it's kind of Art Deco androgynous. Which means it's awesome.

I also get 60s men on ski slopes from Moritz - with sideburns and devilish eyebrows, whizzing along nonchalantly with a cocktail in one hand. Must be the place, because the only one I've ever met was a rather scary lawyer whose eyebrows were very well behaved.

LOL, I have a totally different impression of Moritz but I really like yours too!

Well there two types of Moritz's I know and have been influenced by. The first one is a little blonde boy (younger than 10), very lively and a brat but a cute one, a prankster too.The second one is a quite masculine brown-haired professor, smart and chilvarous with a deep melodic voice.

oohIf I had met said professor, I'd be instantly smitten with the name as well.
