HelpRe: Names for a Boy
in reply to a message by CJ
Where I live, Anders means 'Otherwise' or 'On the contrary'. Not encouraging! And I find four two-syllable names excessive. If pushed, I'd change Anders to Andrew (which I'm not fond of) and Gregor to Gregory (for a variation) and settle on Andrew Gregory David Perry.

Anders is a variation of Andrew which means strong and manly. However, my brother's name is Andrew, who Anders would be honouring. My grandfathers name was Gregor (he had no middle name), also using to honour.
Anders is a perfectly normal name in a large portion of the world
Pretty common around here.
It was on my list until I married an Alexander nn Xander. Anders and Xander would have been confusing.
