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

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?

My son (23) has a friend called Gus. Not short for anything.

It’s a very cool name. I love it.

Gus is the cat at the theatre door (from TS Eliot/Cats).
Also an annoying manager in Drop the Dead Donkey, but that is no longer a current reference.

I really like the name Gus. Feels solid and dependable. I've known a couple. Both nice lads.

I like it. I link names to people. I have known 3 people called Gus. One Angus,one Fergus and one just Gus. All nice people

Gussie Fink-Nottle 😂

I’m afraid to say it’s on my name list… for my next spaniel pup! 😂

I think it's lovely. Sweet and not boisterous. I know a little boy called Gus and he's a lovely child.

If it's good enough for a spaniel 😍 it's definitely good enough for a human ❤️

Dis-gus-ting is the first thing it makes me think, then Augustus Gloop, then Great Universal Stores which had the logo GUS. So not great overall.

Sorry but the first thing that came into my mind was Augustus Gloop form charlie and the chocolate factory.

It’s just not a very nice sound really, a bit of a nothing kinda name

Well I think so @WinterFrogs!

Big guy, hearty, rugby player.

Fat

With birthday bounces!

Fat - maybe due to Augustus Gloop.

Gus Polinski, Polka King of the Midwest.

Breaking bad tv show

Gus Partenza. Character from a film.

The mouse in Cinderella.

Are you the Raphael poster? Because that one is honestly better. Gus kind of reminds me of guff.

Lovely friend one of my children had at primary school

This. It’s v middle class/ creative in London

The nerdy character from Recess

It has a really horrible sound to it imo. Augustus/August are a bit overdone at the moment as well. I know several babies with those names.

My dog is called Gus. He was named after the mouse in Cinderella. Although we do usually call him Augoosetus or Goose instead. It still reminds me of either a mouse or a dog.
