Agustine - So not used in Germany. Like never used.
Emil - a beautiful German name
Emmerich - I like it
Erik - I'm not fond of Erik or Eric
Ferdinand - Very cool
Franz - It's such an old-fashioned name in Germany, but it's not that bad
Friedrich - not my style
Gustav - one of the most beautiful German names I know. I would use it for my son instantly
Hans - bad
Heinrich (the Himmler association is much too strong, but it's a nice sounding name) - the Himmler association might be too strong in other countries than Germany, but here in Germany it's just a normal, old-fashioned name
Hendrik / Henrik - nice
Ignatz - cool, but almost never seen
Immanuel - I like it
Johann / Johannes - nice
Josef (Stalin makes this unusable to me, but I prefer it to Joseph) - again: no one in Germany instantly thinks of Stalin when seeing Josef because it is such a normal, old-fashioned German name that's very common. I like it
Leon - I hate this name in German, but it's nice in English, imo
Leopold - such a cool German name
Lutz - urgh
Malthe - I've actually never seen this spelling, only Malte. I'm not fond of the name
Matthias - I don't like it
Maximillian (Because both the name AND the guy are gorgeously hot. If anyone would like a description, I'll be happy to give it to them! =P) - In Germany, it's Maximilian with one "l", not two. In Bavaria, about every second boy is called Maximilian and the name is the un-hottest German name I've ever seen. I dislike it because of how it looks and sounds.
Niklaus (I only like the versions of Nicholas with Ks in them.) - I only think of "Nikolaus", you know, "Santa Claus" in Germany. But in German, either Nikolaus or Nikolas or Niklas are far more common than Niklaus.
Pankraz (too bad this is wildly similar to pancreas.) - Sounds so terrible in German, unbelievable! "PUNG-KRUTZ" I mean, who would name his son this?
Pascal - It's actually a name that I only associate with lower-class German families and with many boys in my kindergarten who were socially not very well educated... I dislike its sound anyway, it sounds terrible.
Philipp - I really nice German name, I like it very much!
René - Urgh. See Pascal. It's just ugly in Germany, all these French names are in Germany mostly used by people I can't relate to.
Severin - OK
Sven - nms at all and very boring
Theodore - If any, it's Theodor in German. I like both English Theodore and German Theodor very much!
Viktor (I've been in love with this since reading the 4th Harry Potter book.) - Yes, this name is really cool. I love it.
