    Wait, I thought a goatee is what is labelled ‘circle’ … is that a Canadian thing or ?

      I’ve always heard the circle beard called a goatee too, but I think I heard Bill Simmons, of all people, mention that goatee is supposed to refer to a beard that hangs down from your chin, like a goat. It makes sense as an etymology. The circle beard is essentially a goatee + mustache.

      USA, I’ve always known number 19 as the goatee. I grew up around goats though, so I just sorta assumed it was named after the tuft of hair that goats often have under their chin.

      Where I am from in the States 19 would be a Van Dyke (18) and 32 would be a Goatee. I don’t know what 18 is supposed to be called.
