Boy name deadlock

[Hippocraticoats]

I'm starting to think this baby boy will never have a name - he is more than a week old already! I would welcome the thoughts of the panel (and will be easily identifiable - hello if you know me! - but never mind).

Heritage (in decreasing order) English/Welsh/Australian/German.

Big sisters are Tilly and Harriet. Surname ends in "oh" sound so Hugo/Milo/Arlo etc don't sound good. Nicknames will be almost inevitable! Middle names could be any of the below or something else.

Options:
Alfred (Fred) - close family member has dog called Alfie
Angus (Gus) - OK if not at all Scottish? Might be my favourite.
Arthur (Artie) - a bit popular at the moment?
Barnaby (Barney)
Benjamin - but not keen on Ben/Benjy so probably out
Hugh - shares initial with sister - I guess not a disaster
Idris - nickname?
Jasper - nickname?
Max
Rory

Thank you....

If Angus is your favourite, go for it! I can't imagine Scotland minding.

I like Angus best. I know 2, neither are remotely Scottish.

I also know 2 boys called Angus who are not Scottish so I think it's fine! I also like Max and Barnaby from your list.

If Angus is your favourite use it, I can't see anyone in Scotland being remotely offended. In fact I'm Scottish and it wouldn't cross my mind that someone not in Scotland couldn't use it

If you choose a first name with a vowel, make sure the initials don't spell anything unfortunate :)

Round here people refer to wasps as 'jaspers', not too sure if it happens anywhere else except my region

Have you considered Edward?

From your list my top 3 are Rory, Max (just Max not a longer version) & Hugh or Benjamin. Then Barnaby.

I know a non Scottish Angus who is 1. Great name!

My vote goes to Barnaby/Barney - love it!

I like Gus & Artie too but agree that Arthur having a big popularity surge in last could of years

All nice names except Jasper

Angus is great.

I clicked on thread to say Deadlock would be a terrible name...

I really love Angus! And Gus is such s great nickname. Also like Hugh, Max and Jasper.

My favourites are Alfred, Rory and Angus in no particular order. Rory goes best with your girls names I think.

I thought deadlock was in the running

Angus! Great name!

If you like Angus nn Gus then what about Agustus or August nn Gus. After all is his birth month! I have one of those. It's a great name.

Sorry. AUGUSTUS. Not Agustus

Jasper nn Jazz

Barney is my favourite. I'm not keen on Jasper and Idris doesn't really seem to "go". The rest are all nice and would go fine. Benedict instead of Benjamin?

I prefer Fergus to Angus though.

I like Jasper best.

I like Idris, although it seems that nobody else does! I don't think it needs a nickname.

I also like Rory.

Most of the others seem to be just everywhere now.

Max.

Barney!
Tilly, Harriet, and Barney.

I really like Arthur.

I have a Barnaby/Barney it has definitely increased in popularity over the last year or so.

I think Arthur sounds nicest with siblings names.

Tilly, Harriet & Angus sounds amazing to me. Go with Angus if it's your favourite !
