Do you think it's a bit odd to call our baby Angus if we are not Scottish, or is it okay? What do you think of the name?

It's nice. I don't think you have to be Scottish.

sorry I do think its a lovely name but that is the phrase that springs to mind.

I've got an Angus - now 13 years and sometimes known as Gus. Nothing Scottish about us...it's a great name

DS2 is called Angus, he's nearly 5 (DH is proper Scottish but we live in England)

It's a very manly name for a wee baby, but everyone seems to like it.

He can also dress up and call himself Spidermangus which is a bonus.

...Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging.

Is what I think of when I hear Angus. Those books give my age away horribly though - they're not a universal cultural reference like something like Harry Potter would be.
