gower4 · 28/09/2018 09:53

Grinme too

GreenandBlueButterfly · 28/09/2018 09:53

Reminds me of Linux (operating system)

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 28/09/2018 09:54

I like it but it really does make me think of Snoopy & co

"I think of a boy dragging a blanket...."
Me too.

RedDwarves · 28/09/2018 11:17

I love Linus. I do think of Peanuts though.

Hogtini · 28/09/2018 11:20

Isn't it something to do with computer software?

LightDrizzle · 28/09/2018 11:21

Boy dragging a blanket here too!

WildCherryBlossom · 28/09/2018 11:22

Rhymes with Sinus

Icklepup · 28/09/2018 11:24

I like it

LIVIA999 · 28/09/2018 11:27

Cute!
It reminds me of Linus but no kids would even know that link.

LucyMorningStar · 28/09/2018 11:29

@LIVIA999 Linus reminds you of Linus? You don't say! Grin

Poulnabron · 28/09/2018 11:33

I love it. The cartoon doesn't register as the main association for me at all.

LIVIA999 · 28/09/2018 11:36

Ha! I knew what I meant.. I think although now I'm questioning myself

MadisonAvenue · 28/09/2018 11:37

I really like it, it brings to mind the little boy in Peanuts which to me isn’t a bad thing.

elizabetter · 28/09/2018 16:32

I love it!!

Rebellia · 28/09/2018 16:42

Love it. I know a lovely Linus with a sister called Aurelia.

Sungura · 28/09/2018 16:52

I've always thought this name was so cute. I don't care about Snoopy. It's still a cute name.

speakfriendandenter · 28/09/2018 16:54

Isn't Linus Matt Damon's character in Ocean's Eleven?
It makes me think of a lion, proud and regal. It's unusual but not bad.

Ikabod · 28/09/2018 16:58

Sinus. I'm sorry.

Eleanor90 · 28/09/2018 17:27

I like it

ErrolTheDragon · 28/09/2018 17:33

Reminds me of Linux

But (as I'm sure you know) Linux is Linus Thorvalds 'unix' .

Reminds me of Linus Pauling. Yeah, and peanuts.

It's an ok name.

butterflymum · 28/09/2018 17:36

Think it sounds stronger as 'Lynus'.

AgentCooper · 28/09/2018 17:37

I love it! But I'm a huge Peanuts fan. I quite fancied it for DS but DH vetoed.

notacooldad · 28/09/2018 17:38

Lovely name
