The official method of shortening this name in Denmark is Johs., if you have a small space, like a line for an official document, if you have to sign something that allows for name shortenings. Or just used daily speak to avoid saying the whole name.

I think this is such a handsome name. I've never known a single Johannes in my whole life, but I've never been to Europe, so I guess that's why.

I do love the name Johannes; it is very beautiful. I don't have a hard time imagining a little boy with this name anymore! I also like Boldizsár for a little boy, but when I saw newborn pictures of a little boy, I knew that mine would have to be a Johannes, not a Boldizsár. I am stuck for another baby boy's name, other than Johannes. Johannes it too beautiful. :-)

I love the name Johannes! I'm from Hungary, but my fourth great-grandfather, Johannes Schillinger, was from Germany. My Mom's father's side of the family is completely German. I want to name my son Johannes! It is not popular at all in Hungary, Janos is. I don't like the name Janos, I think Johannes is more classier and more gorgeous. :) It is hard to imagine a little baby, a little boy with this name, that is my main problem with Johannes, but then again, the name is absolutely beautiful.

Johannes was a character in the book "The Blood Countess" by Andre Codrescu. In the book, young Elizabeth Bathory was curious about "the Turkish way" and had Johannes demonstrate on another boy. (The Turkish way is anal sex, by the way.)
Hey, it was a good book, despite all the sex! And I like the name Johannes.
