Nice list!

I love the name Angus. But if you're not quite sure, how about Fergus?

Fergus will be fungus.
Felix will get cat jokes etc.
Angus is terrific, and I also like Magnus.

Alfred gets a no from me. Too many Alfies.

People who want to make fun of a name will work out how to do so whatever it is.

Think of all the children named Flora and how few margarine jokes they actually get. Angus steak is far more tenuous unless perhaps you currently live in Aberdeen and move when he's a sensitive teenager .

Alfie is quite a popular name at the moment, in the "Peaky Blinders" trend with e.g. Stanley, Archie, Wilf, Frankie, Ronnie, etc. Is popularity a factor?

Of those three I think Angus is best. But I think they're all fine (assuming you'd be likely to shorten Alfred day to day) and will be unremarkable in a reception class in 2022!

Angus.

JollyGiraffe · 10/12/2017 18:02

Angus is lovely!

How about:
Hamish
Fergus
Alasdair (or a variation on spelling- but this way is my favourite)
Adam

Love Angus!

userabcname · 10/12/2017 18:37

Love Felix! Was one of my top names for DS but DH didn't like it. I know a baby Angus and he's adorable - that would be my other favourite from your list.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 10/12/2017 18:40

Angus is lovely.

Know a few, this is the first time I've heard anus, so don't think it must be a problem for the Angus' I know.

kaytee87 · 11/12/2017 09:56

Are you in Scotland op, if so I don't think anyone will make fun of Angus.

I like Angus, Fergus & Magnus. Think I like Fergus the best though.

Felix the cat and too many Alfie's about and you know everyone would shorten it to Alfie.

pipilangstrumpf · 11/12/2017 12:23

Angus is a great name! Would never think of anus...

Felix is a well known brand of cat food in the uk.

LadyPug · 11/12/2017 13:47

Felix I adore!!!

Mclaren37 · 13/12/2017 04:32

Love Angus!! The clear winner. (It was vetoed by DH for DC1 sadly, but I got Hamish for DC3!)

FeedMyFaceWithBattenberg · 13/12/2017 05:12

Also love
