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

Angus by miles!

Alvin would get teased re chipmunks.

SoftBlocks · 02/11/2018 16:14

Angus

Angus is lovely.

Alvin is definitely an annoying chipmunk.

LarkDescending · 02/11/2018 16:09

Angus all the way.

Angus. Alvin is chipmunk to me.

Sophronia · 02/11/2018 14:56

I like both, but Alvin has the chipmunk association so I’m going to say Angus.

LoveB · 02/11/2018 13:45

Angus!

Alvin, as in Stardust?

Hmm. On the one hand it has quite a nice sound. On the other every person you meet will he thinking 'STARDUST STARDUST STARDUST'.

I'm genuinely on the fence with Alvin!

Angus at a push - not liking Alvin. (reminds me of Alvin Stardust - even though I know that was only his stage name!)

Dear god. Angus beef and Alvin and the Chipmunks.

I like them both but prefer Alvin. I think it's cool.

Peachbubble · 02/11/2018 11:14

Angus 100%, otherwise you'll constantly get chipmunk references!

Haggisfish · 02/11/2018 10:35

Sorry but do you want their childhood to be accompanied by squeaking chipmunk impressions if you choose Alvin?! I much prefer Angus!
