Getting to Gus

Thinking of Gus for upcoming DS3, however would like a longer name on the BC - would love to hear your suggestions, as outlandish and tenuously linked as possible because the traditional ones (August etc) I'm really not sure on..

All the guys I know called Gus are either Fergus or Angus, I love both names but maybe if you really love Gus but hate these go with just Gus? The Gaelic for Angus is Aonghas (an-OO-is) and can be Gus, obviously if you're using that everyday pronouncing Aonghas won't be an issue!

I'd probably go for Angus because I love it, but I agree that you could use Gus on its own. Plenty of people have been registered as Charlie or Billy or Fred in the last few years so why not Gus?

Love the name Angus, but is any one else thinking Finknottle?

Yes me Penny. And would I be right in thinking you are an Archers fan too?
