Seven201, My parents are both Scots and one of DH's parents is Scottish. However I don't think you need to be from or in Scotland to use these names, that's a bit literal.
PitilessYank, Angus cattle are originally from the regions of Aberdeenshire and Angus. That's where the name Angus comes from, not vice versa. It's an old and traditional name /region first and foremost. I guess in the States the beef is the only connection you would have with the name? In short, not a concern for me.

We've had this! This exact thread, v recently. Not trying to imply that you're not allowed to ask again, of course!

Hamish was my vote. Only because Angus very overused here (Aus).

Bloody autocorrect. Hamish not Hannah!

Hannah. I take it you're Scottish?

Both names are very nice. In the US, where I live, though, many people would think of Black Angus Beef. Is that a term that is used where you are?

I love them both. Angus probably just edges it for me.
