Angus has been the frontrunner for a while but recently discovered Alvin and we can't decide if we like it or not.

Angus is a fab name.
Alvin is both Mr Stardust and the irritating squeaky chipmunk to me.

Labradoodliedoodoo · 03/11/2018 23:27

Angus means you get Gus as a nickname

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 03/11/2018 23:26

Alvin is terrible! Angus meh

moredoll · 03/11/2018 23:24

Angus

2128Cl · 03/11/2018 23:23

Not keen on either but Angus is better.

Mummytoboyxx · 03/11/2018 17:42

What about Calvin as a compromise?

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 03/11/2018 15:39

Lovely Angus, without a doubt, with Gus as a NN.

Alvin would just remind me of chipmunks and Mr Stardust. Nothing against those, but I wouldn't name one of my DSs after them!

MikeUniformMike · 03/11/2018 15:31

I would go with Alvin

KatKit16 · 03/11/2018 15:16

Sorry I wouldn't choose either.

ReginaPhalange89 · 03/11/2018 14:58

Love Angus. Dislike Alvin.... Calvin is cute though!

elQuintoConyo · 02/11/2018 22:40

AlvinandthemotherfuckingChipmunks - beyond awful. My 7yo has recently come out of his Alvin ATC fog, thank goodness. If i had to hear I'm a Survivor murdered by some arse on helium one more time, i was going to set fire to Amazon prime!

Angus is a nicer name.

DramaAlpaca · 02/11/2018 22:38

Angus by miles.

LassWiADelicateAir · 02/11/2018 22:34

Both awful but Alvin is considerably the worse of the 2.

Icklepup · 02/11/2018 22:23

Definitely Angus.

SuperstarDJ · 02/11/2018 20:00

Sorry but I think Alvin is awful. I quite like Angus and really like the name/nn Gus.

rainbowquack · 02/11/2018 17:07

Angus

jq28 · 02/11/2018 16:56

Both dreadful

Finfintytint · 02/11/2018 16:56

Angus means “one choice” so there you go!

Angus...I also have one!

Finfintytint · 02/11/2018 16:44

Angus but I’m biased as i have one.

SilverySurfer · 02/11/2018 16:43

Angus - no contest........ unless he is a chipmunk Smile

Justforonequestion · 02/11/2018 16:29

Love Angus, hate Alvin. Makes me think of Alvin Stardust, which (rather unfairly) makes me think of Gary Glitter.

Spartasprout · 02/11/2018 16:27

Think not this!

Spartasprout · 02/11/2018 16:27

Lots of older people will secretly this he's your coo ca choo OP...
