I have this odd habit: I "collect" nice-sounding names. I don't know why I do it; I rarely need to name anything. I've never had a pet and do not plan on having kids, at least not anytime soon. I don't even name my computers, which I understand is a major nerd faux pas.

This post was brought on by the realization that "Johan" is a very nice name and OH GOD I WILL NEVER USE THESE NAMES FOR ANYTHING WHY DO I KEEP A LIST.

Johan is also the name of one of the creepiest manga characters EVER FYI.

I love Johan.

That was the name of my favorite math teacher in high school.

Haha I've read Monster, but for some reason I don't immediately associate the name "Johan" with that character, even if I don't really associate it with anything else.

Come to think of it, the name didn't stick out to me as particularly interesting back then. Guess I just spontaneously developed a liking for it the other day.

Then names of the nice people we've known tend to sound more pleasant, don't they?

Though personally I've never known anyone named Johan. I had a Johannes for a classmate once, but that form of the name doesn't have the same kind of ring to it. /ramble

True, though it doesn't just have to be a person we know but could be favorite fictional characters as well.

I think of Johannesburg when I hear Johannes.
