I'm Channing's mom from earlier in the thread and was tickled to death at how accurate our "portrait" was- I even told my friends so they could laugh with me. PP, whoever you are, you have a hilarious gift for "reading" people.

I am happy when I meet a Gus because I was not so sure about it and it validates my decision - which I think is pathetic.

I have a nephew Gus, which is short for August, which was my grandfather's name and the only family name that hadn't been used in every generation. (We're all very big on family names, always have been.) Gus fits him to an absolute T.

You watch way too much TV.

That's funny because we watch almost no TV other than news. We have no cable or satellite or other TV service, we just watch HD TV over the air when we do.

We had no idea about the Dexter TV show until after we picked the name and several people mentioned it. It was just a name we liked. Spencer was mildly suggested because I do like some old Hepburn/Tracy films, but I haven't seen too many of them.

Other than Spencer Tracy, Spencer for Hire, Dexter Carrington and Dexter the serial killer, where else are these names on TV? I really have no idea.

Even though some of the comments have not been flattering (Dad to Spencer and Dexter), I think this thread has been one of the most fun threads I've seen in a long time. Thank you to the posters with the wry (and radar-like) sense of humor. Keep them coming!

I went back and forth on August and Augustus sounded like too much. We settled on just Gus.

"Gus" sounds like someone's old alcoholic uncle.

You live in Bethesda or Kensington in a four bedroom house, kids all play sports, you drive a minivan and have a lab or golden retriever.

We do love sports and labs!
