Nelson Mandela comes to mind, but the name also makes me think of the bully on the Simpsons. I'm sure many people would be tempted to throw in a ''ha ha'' when hearing this is someone's name. I don't really like this as a first name, and it doesn't sound very pleasant.

Well, not quite accurate for all Scandinavian languages. In Swedish -son names are spelled with an 'o', son is the same word in Swedish. Usually Swedish son-names are spelled with two s's though, which they aren't in English. Andersson = Anders' son.
