Col. John "Hannibal" Smith was the leader of the "A-Team," an '80's T.V. show.

I really like this name. It's a shame that it is automatically associated with Hannibal Lector.

Hannibal is such a cute name if you don't think about Hannibal Lecter.

I don't like this as a name. It's rather oxymoronic, since Ba'al was not a god of grace. But for the Caananites it was seen as a very good name. Probably the only thing keeping him from getting sacrificed to Molech as a kid.

On "Meerkat Manor", Hannibal is the "just plain mean bully that nobody wants to see". He is the dominant male of the Cammandoes and is missing one eye.

Among the ancient Hamites, Semites, and Aryans theophoric names represent a large percentage. The Semitic Canaanite/Phoenician 'Hannibal' is the equivalent of the Semitic Hebrew 'Yochanan', better known as the English 'John'. The element [-ba'al] (Lord) of 'Hannibal' being replaced by the element [Yo-] (the first syllable of the unspeakable name of the God, i.e. the 'Ba'al' of the Jews). John/Joan/Anna, et al. has, of course, found its way via Christianity into a plethora of modern tongues.

Hannibal is one of the guests at "the Cloisters" in John Patrick's play, "The Curious Savage". Hannibal thinks he can play the violin, but he really can't.

It really is a wonderful name. If it weren't so associated with Hannibal Lector, it could be a wonderful name for a child these days.
