Angus?

[forgetmenots]

Need your thoughts MN...
After lots of back and forth, DH and I both like Angus for a boy.
We are in Scotland, don't know any other babies called Angus and wouldn't use nn Gus (only grown ups called Angus I know are Angus or Angaidh - like an-geh with a hard g).
Need advice as hormones are running riot :)

Angus is a nice name.

I know a little 2.5 yr old Angus and an adult Angus (I'm in England). Neither of them use a nickname.

Lovely name

Angus is one of those names that has a history of being a bit dusty and old man-like, but it sounds quite hip and trendy now, without being too popular (I'm thinking of Alfie, Archie, Charlie here).

Go for it - it's cool.

I love Angus...brilliant name,go for it!

I really like it (but you do need to be Scottish).

Love Angus! I'm from county Angus too so maybe I'm bias :)

I like it - also Gus
DS's life-long "teddy" is a monkey called Angus.
I also know a grown up Angus (Aussie). He is just Angus.

DS2 is called Angus
He rocks and so does his name
We call him Angy (with hard G) sometimes.

Love it...also Fergus. I have a Callum and a Finlay though so have a penchant for Scottish names I'm not Scottish either!

A great and bafflingly underused name. I love it.

Brilliant name!!

Also love Aengus, the Irish version.

I say Angus I think ACDC tbh if you can't tell the crowd show Angus quite a lot instead of Thunder. Angus is the guitar player.

shout not show!

GRRRRRTiggaxx

i hate it.

Great - majority thumbs up, not going bonkers. Thought it would be much more divisive!
dawntigga I think that would just make DH like it more

I love it. I also love Gus.

Love it. May be a little biased as DS2 is Angus. He rocks. Gets An-gee as a nn

AC/DC live is on BBC4 as I type.

Fabulous name!

(Little sister, Rosie?)

I love it, it was on our list but we thought it was maybe a bit too Scottish for us southerners!

I know a baby Angus. He has Scottish heritage. It goes well with his sister's name.

I wouldn't choose it myself, but I quite like it - classic proper name but not overused.

Don't like Fergus so much because of name association with someone else.

angus is crackin name

Love it. Also like Hamish, Fergus and Fraser.

mrsXsweet - DH vetoed Hamish, we can't have Fraser and Fergus is on the list but think I prefer Angus! Great names :)

i have an Angus. tbh his name was a compromise. i was desperate to call him Gabriel. still have name envy when i meet a Gabriel. he is known as Gus. it has grown on me, but i never imagined i would have a son called Angus.

I know one (teen) and he's ace. Got to agree there needs to be a Scottish connection though or it is a bit odd imo.
