Comments for RASTUS:

Oh, please. This is a name that white people after Reconstruction used to stereotype black people. It was like the Jamal of its day, despite the fact that very few black people were actually named this.

Not as attractive to me as Erastus, and neither of them are as attractive as Erasmus. It was in fact used as a stereotypical black name previously, but at this point, the average person is unlikely to know anything about that.
