What does the name Gus bring to mind? (Last one from me, I promise!)

[SharpGoldWriter]

Promise this will be my last question for a while, haha. It's been so helpful so thank you all!

Regardless of full name, if we call our son by the name Gus, what does it bring to mind?

I'm not personally a fan of the name gus as it reminds me immediately of the word gusset 🙈

I suppose secondary to this is Augustus... As in Gloop... Again, not great! Sorry!

It reminds me of a mouse from one of the Disney movies

A pug. Because the only person I've ever known with that name was, in fact, a pug.

It reminds me if a character from a novel but I can't remember which one.

As a name, I'm not keen.

Gusset - I like Fergus and Angus though.

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Gassy Gus

Also a child I knew at school known as Gus guzzle guts.

Augustus Gloop.

It was from Enid Blyton's Circus of Adventure!

Me too!

then a nasty man I know, Jamie is better (haven't seen any other of your threads)

Gus the Gorilla. And Gussy Finknottle from Jeeves and Wooster.

Gus gus from Cinderella!

I love Gus! Hard to describe its vibe...cool, straightforward, interesting.

Only Gus I know is a (very lovely) Augusta.

Greek Americans who were baptised Constantine and shortened their name (inexplicably) to Gus.

It’s a good name. I’d assume short for Augustus (and be reminded of the very strong Roman Caesar), but also works with Fergus/Angus- also good names

Rhymes with pus

Same!

It reminds me of the word gas. I’d give it a pass if I were you.

There is an Angus in my 6yo daughter's class and the adults in his life call him Gus or Gussy. He is a wee blonde cutey with glasses.

Mumsnet is the worst place to ask for opinions on baby names....

I really like it! I used to work with a Gus (short for August) and he was lovely. For me it conjures someone, friendly, dependable and laid-back.

Old man

Used to work with a Gus, short for Angus, I really like both.

Gus Honeybun

Gus the firefly. And I really like the name.
