Gus

[hellohellohihi]

For my imaginary dc2... What do you think?

[FamiliesShareGerms]

Why not?

[poppydaisy]

Reminds me of gusset... Is it a name?

[gymboywalton]

graet as a shortening of angus
as a stand alone name...no

[SalagadooLamagicaboo]

Reminds me of the little fat mouse in Cinderella :)

It was a very cute mouse if you ask :)

[Timetoask]

love it!

[BedHog]

Reminds me of gusset too. As described in cheap chicklit - 'his tanned fingers deftly pushed aside her moist gusset and explored the wonders beneath' etc

[DreamsTurnToGoldDust]

Reminds me of Gus Honeybun

[FamiliesShareGerms]

Ooh, blast from the past there Dreams!

[hellohellohihi]

Ha ha to gusset! That chick lit passage made me chuckle.

Yes I think as a stand alone name. We're not Scottish so would feel weird using angus. The full version that springs to mind is augustus which I'm not too keen on.

Just a thought, don't think it'll make the short list...

[DreamsTurnToGoldDust]

I`m glad someone else remembers Gus Honeybun, birthday bumps anyone?

Op, I actually really like Gus

[ZolaBuddleia]

Love it, dislike Angus.

[MortifiedAdams]

I love Gus and have it on my too-scared-to-use boys list alongside Griff, Fox and Sid.

[Foosyerdoos]

I love Gus, would be short for Augustus. Always reminds me of Gussie Fink-Nottle from Jeeves and Wooster.

[OrlaKiely]

No....I'm sorry, I cannot like it.

[NorksAreMessy]

Gustav?
Angus?
Augustus?

but mainly LOVING the appearance of the Fink-Nottle on a baby names thread :)

[captainmummy]

Short for Augustus? My ski-ing instructor (get me!) in Bulgaria was called Augustan, would NOT let us shorten to Gus, as that means Arse in Bulgarian.

[LalyRawr]

Always think of the little fat mouse in Cinderella.

Sorry

[OrlaKiely]

I know a little Gustav. Very sweet - but not shortened to Gus.

[PenelopePortrait]

We had a Gus at school, he got called Gus the gorilla. He wasn't a very pleasant chap either.

[perplexedpirate]

Oh, I was besotted with a boy called Gus in my distant youth!
He was cool. Go for it.

[bex2011]

Great name but I would say that as I have a gorgeous Gus.

[MotheringShites]

Magnus? Fergus?
