I know little Anguses from birth to 100, really like it.

Never heard of Kester?

Murdo, Calum, Malcolm, Logan, Lorn, Brodie, Struan, Gregor, Donald (Domhnall), Auley, Aidan (Aodhan), Seonaidh, Pol (all names at my dc's Gaelic speaking school).

Also depends where you are. Angus is a totally normal, although not hugely common name in Scotland. Have never heard a boy called Kester.

I was really tempted to Angus for ds, little Gus! We bottled it in the end, it felt to "look at me" for me IYSWIM...

But if you wouldn't feel silly shouting it across the park then go for it
