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

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...

I've never met a Gustav. When I think Gustav I picture an aristocratic, pink cheeked, round bellied, 18th century European military type.

It seems so incongruous for a little baby, but I would probably be secretly impressed, it's certainly a name with a lot of character. Gus is a cute and inevitable nickname.

Very nic!

Yeah I like it!

Lovely

Nice, I like it. We're in a similar situation as I'm Swedish but we live in UK. Expecting dc2. I like Gusten too but dh not too sure. My other favourites at the moment are Hilding, Alfred, Olof/olov and Tor. Already have a ds called Axel.

I do like it and Gus as a nickname is very cool.
