I’m usually pretty set on my boy’s list but lately I’ve been seriously considering adding [name_m]Linus[/name_m] to it. I feel like it’s quite different than the other boy names I like, but I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. I’m just curious as to what everyone else thinks of the name. [name_m]How[/name_m] would you feel if you met a little [name_m]Linus[/name_m]? My best friend said it sounds like a “hipster” name or a “grandpa” name, but I think while it might be a little old it does sound fresh and maybe ready for a comeback. Thoughts?
I love [name_m]Linus[/name_m]! So quirky and handsome. I’ve always found it rather timeless, while still being really unusual. I would love to meet a little [name_m]Linus[/name_m]! I go back and forth on it, and never seem to be able to commit to it, but I love [name_m]Linus[/name_m] a lot. He’s so handsome.
I think it sounds good and fresh enough on a new born so I think it’d be a great choice if you like it and sometimes retro is perceived as cooler than any ‘modern’ name.
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] is one of our top boy names! I think it has great personality and would work well as a little baby grows. I have heard that many people associate it with Peanuts… but younger generations are not going to be as familiar with that character. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] we get a chance to use it in the future!
Yay! I’m so happy I came and asked berries for their opinions and that [name_m]Linus[/name_m] is getting some love. The connection to Peanuts didn’t even occur to me until a previous poster said it, so I agree that the association isn’t really something I’m concerned about. Looks like I’ll be definitely adding it to my list as the more I look at it and say it, the more I start to love it.
Any suggestions for good middles to go with [name_m]Linus[/name_m]?
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] is on my short list! To me, it’s a nice alternative to the currently-super-popular [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]. My favorite [name_m]Linus[/name_m] combo is [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m].
I would be thrilled to meet a [name_m]Linus[/name_m]! I think [name_m]Linus[/name_m]'s charm is in its quirky, jazzy vibe.
Personally, [name_m]Linus[/name_m] isn’t my taste! I’ve never met anyone called this either. It’s not really a bad name, just not one I’d consider using. But, if you love it, go for it.
I love [name_m]Linus[/name_m], it only comes off my list when [name_u]Lionel[/name_u] overtakes it
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] is my combo of choice, although for you I like [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m], [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Brandt[/name_m] or [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] maybe?
