English has the words famous and infamous, why not add another word to mean well-known? Cuth seems to fit the bill. English says when someone is well-known on a large-scale, but shouldn't there be a word that would say that the person is known in an apparent, excellent within a smaller community? Take my mom, for instance. She's definitely not famous, but she is very well-known within the Nashville social work scene for her dedication to teenagers and she's won many awards. If I had to say a word now for her, it would be well-known, but well-known doesn't have the positive connotations that I want to add to how my mom is thought of, so cuth scoots in and fits perfectly.
