Fergus

Is it odd to name our baby Fergus if we're not Irish? We do both have Irish heritage but wouldn't identify ourselves as Irish.
We're really struggling with boys names.
I just want a normal but not too common name. I think Fergus is lovely.

We have a little boy on the street whose name is Fergus, he's terribly cute Grin

I love it and plan to use it.

I quite like it, and Angus too.

Great name, one we strongly considered. I'd say go for it!

I'm Irish - I think it is a genuinely horrible name - like a worse wversion of fungus 🤮

Great name - wouldn’t say it’s overtly associated with a country - though more likely to be Scotland than Ireland if it was, I reckon? Fergal would make me think more along the lines of a definitely Irish name (and is also great).

Lovely underused name!

I think it's lovely too.
