I have such an odd, unexplainable attraction to the name Anders... I just always feel happy when I hear that name used, and it's not particularly my style or anything, I just really like it :P

My brother-in-law was named after his grandparents. One of them was named Sverre, the other was named Anders. However, Sverre Anders sounds kind of weird so his parents named him Sverre Andreas instead, to honor his grandfather. I don't really like Anders but with a story like that I think it's quite nice haha.
