Archie or Angus

[auntym]

Which do you prefer and how many do you know?

TIA

Much prefer Angus - good, strong, manly name. Really dislike nicknames as full names and Archie is really popular at the moment.

I like Archie but know so many both human and canine
Fergus is dreadful.
Angus is fab.

I absolutely adore Angus, and I love Gus as a nickname.

Except DH said no

Archie is a bit meh.

Angus. Don't Ike Archie.

Archie is overused to the point of borderline common.

Angus is better but you need to think about how it goes with your surname in case it comes across a bit "novelty Scot".

If you're Scottish, Angus - love it. If you aren't, neither.

Thanks for the replies so far. I am Scottish, DP is English (so English surname). We live in Scotland. I like Hamish but we have one in the family already. Rather than seeking out an A name, these just happen to be the two we like

Angus

Angus! Way too many Archies about - it's one of those names that will immediately place him as born in 2016-17.

Hi know 1 Archie, he's 7
I don't know any Angus's

I love Angus. Archie is nice enough but love Archibald

I think Angus is great.

Archie is trendy and lacks a bit of grit imo.

There's a lot of young Archies around here, along with Alfie, Alfred and Albie.

Don't know anyone called Angus

Still a while to go but Angus is now firmly top of our list. Thanks everyone
