I like my name, and I don't care who doesn't. Rant, complain, say what you want, I don't care. You're allowed to have opinions. Anyway, I've always loved my name, and I think I wear it well. While it's very popular in my country, I still love it. People in English speaking countries don't pronounce it right, but a little correction is all it takes, it isn't a big deal. Yeah, this is my name. Hi everyone, I'm Anders.
Usage: Finnish (Rare), English (Modern, Rare)Pronounced: AHN-dehrs (Finnish), AN-dərz (English)Meaning: Scandinavian form of Andreas (see ANDREW). It is sometimes used as the English short form of ANDERSON.
The name Anders was given to 277 boys born in the US in 2016.

Anders Giske is a retired Norwegian football player. He is the father of Madeleine Giske. He became the athletic director in Sogndal in 2005 after working in SK Brann.
I think this is a beautiful name when pronounced the Swedish/Norwegian way. I am a writer working on a novel set in 1880s Norway and I gave my male protagonist this name after hearing it on TV while watching ski jumping. I just love the way it sounds, and I think it really suits him-- it sounds both soft and strong at the same time, which is exactly him. He is very protective and emotionally forceful but shy and romantically submissive as well, and he's just very sweet and kind. I can't hear this name without thinking of him... sigh... but please don't ever say anne-dersss *cringe*
Anders Jacobsen, Anders Bardal and Anders Fannemel are Norwegian ski jumpers, winning many honours, including a gold medal in the team competition at the 2015 World Championships.
Anders is such a beautiful name! I simply love it. And it's classical, you can be a 3 year old with it as a name, as well as an 18-year old, a 40-year old and a 80-year old!
I used to live in Sweden and I always wanted to call my son Anders (although or maybe even because it's kind of old fashioned), but now I live in Germany and now it's almost impossible: "anders" in German means "different"!
