Angus or Alvin

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.

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.

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!

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