Need your thoughts MN...
After lots of back and forth, DH and I both like Angus for a boy.
We are in Scotland, don't know any other babies called Angus and wouldn't use nn Gus (only grown ups called Angus I know are Angus or Angaidh - like an-geh with a hard g).
Need advice as hormones are running riot :)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I say Angus I think ACDC tbh if you can't tell the crowd show Angus quite a lot instead of Thunder. Angus is the guitar player.

Brilliant name!!

Also love Aengus, the Irish version.

A great and bafflingly underused name. I love it.

Love it...also Fergus. I have a Callum and a Finlay though so have a penchant for Scottish names Grin I'm not Scottish either!

DS2 is called Angus
He rocks and so does his name Grin
We call him Angy (with hard G) sometimes.

I like it - also Gus
DS's life-long "teddy" is a monkey called Angus.
I also know a grown up Angus (Aussie). He is just Angus.

Love Angus! I'm from county Angus too so maybe I'm bias :)

lalalonglegs · 07/12/2012 21:14

I really like it (but you do need to be Scottish).

FriggFRIGG · 07/12/2012 21:06

I love Angus...brilliant name,go for it!

Angus is one of those names that has a history of being a bit dusty and old man-like, but it sounds quite hip and trendy now, without being too popular (I'm thinking of Alfie, Archie, Charlie here).

Go for it - it's cool.

Lovely name

Angus is a nice name.

I know a little 2.5 yr old Angus and an adult Angus (I'm in England). Neither of them use a nickname.
