[Opinions] Re: Wolfgang
I knew a Wolfgang who went by Wollo. He is my age (early 20s). He has a brother named Matthias. He's the youngest one I ever met. Both names are pretty dated, in my opinion. I never liked it. It's a really dated German name. My dad is German and I lived there for some time and go there often. I know lots who are all over 50. In the US it could be kind of cool but it has the words wolf and gang in it. I don't know. I guess I'd like just Wolf better, but not really fond of it either.Elsa is a family name for me. Love it!

Matthias seems to have gained some popularity (though not majorly perhaps... would depend on what country you're in) again in recent years though... Have heard of a couple people using it for their sons in the past decade or so... but that's in Canada.ETA: For the province of BC in 2010, I just checked and there were 9 little boys named Matthias, 6 named Mathias and 12 named Mattias just in that province that year.
