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.

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

Peachbubble · 02/11/2018 11:14

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

Another2day · 02/11/2018 11:15

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

Dear god. Angus beef and Alvin and the Chipmunks.

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

CrookedMe · 02/11/2018 13:45

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!

Sophronia · 02/11/2018 14:56

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

daisypond · 02/11/2018 15:57

Angus. Alvin is chipmunk to me.

LarkDescending · 02/11/2018 16:09

Angus all the way.

BewareOfDragons · 02/11/2018 16:12

Angus is lovely.

Alvin is definitely an annoying chipmunk.

SoftBlocks · 02/11/2018 16:14

Angus

E20mom · 02/11/2018 16:19

Alvin would get teased re chipmunks.

JeanPagett · 02/11/2018 16:20

Think not this!

Justforonequestion · 02/11/2018 16:29

Love Angus, hate Alvin. Makes me think of Alvin Stardust, which (rather unfairly) makes me think of Gary Glitter.

SilverySurfer · 02/11/2018 16:43

Angus - no contest........ unless he is a chipmunk Smile

Finfintytint · 02/11/2018 16:44

Angus but I’m biased as i have one.

OnlyTheDepthVaries · 02/11/2018 16:47

Angus means “one choice” so there you go!

jq28 · 02/11/2018 16:56

Both dreadful

rainbowquack · 02/11/2018 17:07

Angus

SuperstarDJ · 02/11/2018 20:00

Sorry but I think Alvin is awful. I quite like Angus and really like the name/nn Gus.
