I was fine with this name when I was younger, but now it grates on my ears (thanks to the obnoxious English pronunciation and the connection to "Peanuts"). This name will get a boy nothing but teasing and calls of "Where's your blanket?"

This is such an unattractive name, in my humble opinion. It also reminds me of the word 'anus.'

The only -us name that has me wanting to poke my eyes out. It's disgusting, affected and laughable.

Linus and Lucy ("by coincidence", Charlie Brown says to Lucy) is a song by Vince Guaraldi.

Very unappealing. The Peanuts character doesn't make it any better.

Random fact: In St Trinian's (the 2007 one), Geoffrey says he used to have a dog called Linus.

I don't care for this name. It will lead to teasing because of the Peanuts character, and I find Linus Torvalds to be quite annoying and nasty.
