If I told you my baby son's new name what would you reeeally think?

[omri]

Dp is trying to sell me his name choice and I reeeeally don't know. At the beginning I said no way in hell, but have to admit it is growing on me. It's Gustav. What do u think? We are Scandinavian origin so there is a link.
I just think people would laugh. But dp really loves it! I'm only 22 weeks pg so bit of time to decide. And it may be a girl! Just wondering what opinions are on the name...

Very nice. It's my ds's middle name9smile0 although a different spelling to reflect a flemish heritage.

I mean

i really like it

If you're Scandinavian then no one will think it odd. I like it.

It's the name of the ladybird from Ben and Holly.

Oh ignore me - it's Gaston.

I like it! Especially as you are Scandinavian as it might be a bit random (but still nice) otherwise.

I would think it unusual but not in a bad way. Quite like it

Gus is quite a common nn here in Scotland (from Angus) so it would be shortened pretty soon.

Love it! For a boy of course.....

Gustav is nice. Isn't the king of Sweden - Karl Gustav?

First thought was Breaking Bad, but that's probably just me. If you're Scandinavian I think it's nice. Gus is a cool nickname too.

I'm not keen but it's a name I haven't heard except in books. But if you like it then you should go for it.

My first thought is the dead chef in Ratatouille.

Or Klimpt maybe.

If you didn't have Scandinavian links, I'd think it was a tiny bit pretentious (but maybe still OK), but as it is, I think it's very cool - easy to pronounce, acceptable nick-name available (Gus), there definitely won't be five of them in his primary class...

Unusual but not "is that really a name or did you make it up?" unusual. I like it.

I find it a very harsh name

I like it. I's not a common name in the UK but no one is going to do a double take and say WTF as I'd say most people have heard of it in a forrin sort of way

I like it, and with the Scandinavian link it makes sense (personally, I'm not keen on 'foreign' names where there's no link). And Gus is a good NN if you want one.

It's a lovely name OP and a nice way to reflect your heritage,

I like it. Especially given your Scandinavian origins. I like Gus as an abbreviation too.

I like it! Very cute and cool.

Sorry people would laugh round here. Working class town.
