[Opinions] Re: Wolfgang
Wolfgang Amadeus is gorgeus but it's too much :( Maybe with a second MN?
I love Wolfgang Augustus too.

What about Mozart's "real" names Wolfgang Theophil / Theofil / Theophilus and Johannes /Joannes Wolfgang?
(Ok, Wolfgang Chrysostomos is probably over the top ;-) but those others.... maybe?)

Yeah, I was going to say...Wolfgang Amadeus Theophilus.
No, I really like Mozart's real name. Wolfgang Theophilus Chrysostomos Johannes. Where did his parents get the idea for using Greek middle names and not Latin?
You know, Mozart never went by Wolfgang. In those days German-speakers went by their middle names...I don't know what his parents called him then, because he obviously went by Amadeus because he didn't like the Greek form Theophilus as much as the Latin Amadeus.
