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.

I know a 3 year old Fergus, he goes by Gus. I love it.

@NervousBFP - I am Scottish but I don't think it really matters.

I know Irish and Scottish Ferguses who have all been very nice people.

Not my taste. I always picture an old man. Same with Angus.

I love Fergus. I think anyone can use it - it's well known enough to have crossed over very specific cultural backgrounds I think. I'm not Irish or Scottish but would use it in a heartbeat. I know a little Fergus that doesn't have Irish or Scottish background.

Like it a lot

No not a fan at all. I think a lot of us who are Irish have bad "old man" associations with this name.
