Johann or Johannes?
I've been having trouble deciding this for the past week or so, and it's starting to really bug me. Which one would you pick? Here are my pros and cons for each:
Johann - I love the association with Strauss, but that's kind of about it. This is starting to grow on me, but I still don't like it quite as much as Johannes.
Johannes - This seems more "complete" to me, and I tend to like it better, but Johann is catching up to it. I like the nn Hannes, and the association with Brahms is something I kind of like (that is, if I turn a blind eye to the fact that he was, to say the least, crabby a lot).
The mn I'd pair it with is Konstantin. WDYT?

Johannes
I like the sound better. It does sound more complete than Johann. I think Johannes Konstantin sounds better than Johann Konstantine too.

I like them both the same. I guess I'd go with Johannes, but I'm not sure. Johann Konstantin sounds better than Johannes Konstantin but Johann looks kind of feminine written down (reminds me of Joanne) so yeah I think I'd pick Johannes.
Johannes, definitely, though it is much overused. I don't care for Konstantin but the flow of Johannes Konstantin is pretty good. Constantine is better, though.
