Klaus

Whenever I hear this name, I think of Klaus Baudelaire. That said, I viewed this name as intelligent and strong.

Probably the most German name ever, haha.

I first heard this from the BOOK SERIES, A Series of Unfortunate Events. Klaus Baudelaire is a very smart and strong protagonist, and there's also Klaus Van Helsing. Ignoring the bearers, it has a sophisticated brevity.

This is an awesome name that needs to be more popular! I first heard it when I watched "Lemony Snicket's: A Series of Unfortunate Events", where Liam Aiken played Klaus Bauedelaire. Ahh, Liam Aiken.

This name reminds me of Santa Claus, even though 'tis pronounced differently.
