Col. John "Hannibal" Smith was the leader of the "A-Team," an '80's T.V. show.-- breakofday 12/22/2005
I really like this name. It's a shame that it is automatically associated with Hannibal Lector.-- podolski_fan2 10/7/2006
This was the name of the town where Mark Twain grew up.-- arrowhead909 1/19/2007
Hannibal is such a cute name if you don't think about Hannibal Lecter.-- RaelMayar 3/31/2007
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.-- Atarah Derek 9/10/2007
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.-- FMRadio 6/3/2008
Cannibal!-- julesxoxo 6/15/2008
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.-- JCA 7/29/2008
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.-- margs66 3/22/2009
All I see is Hannibal the Cannibal. :)-- Amy Nicole 5/18/2009
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.-- ema_kala 8/26/2009
Colonel Gaddafi's fifth eldest son is called Hannibal Gaddafi.-- Ailis 9/25/2009
I don't know about using this, especially after it became associated with Hannibal Lecter. If you're of Spanish or Italian descent it would work fine, since forms of the name are used there, but in English it would look ridiculous.-- bananarama 12/19/2009
Annibale CARACCI, great Italian painter.-- Anton 3/8/2010
All I can think about is the serial killer, the cannibal Dr. Hannibal Lector. I guess it is kind of a cute name if you have never heard of "The Silence of the Lambs," and you don't associate it with that, but the movie is pretty much a classic and people won't forget about it soon, at least in most English-speaking countries.-- Anonymous User 1/2/2011
Unless you're a worshiper of Ba'al, this is a name you should DEFINITELY stay away from.
Besides, the name Ba'al conjures up the sight of a giant tall bull (in my head!).
Save your kid's dignity - even before (s)he is born.-- high_chronicles 1/17/2011
I agree with some of the other users: I think it's a real shame that the name is always associated with Hannibal Lecter of the book/movies, because the name itself is very cute. I would even give a son Hannibal as a second name. I also really love the sib combo Hannibal & Mischa/Misha of the movie Hannibal Rising.-- LoQuiero 2/18/2012
