It seems claustrophobic to me, like being stuck in a big maroon coat. It also seems very southern good-ol-boy, like
Carter or
Landon but dated earlier. Not my style, but I could see how it would be cool.
I know a few Russells. One is my age, a huge pill, and goes by
Russ, which works well I think. One is my old band director, who goes by
Rusty. He might should go by Dopey instead. In any case we called him Doc - NOT the right dwarf name for him
I prefer it spelled... Rustle.
