What do you think when you hear these names?

[mintich]

Angus
Cameron
Fergus
Kelvin
Milo
Magnus
Oliver
Rory

Scotland 😃

Kelvin is awful. Everything else is

Yes definitely Scotland, which is all good if you're Scottish

Hehe yes I'm Scottish.
I meant what do you think of when you hear each name individually 😊

Angus- a dog
Cameron- okay
Fergus-a 65 year old Scottish man
Kelvin- awful, name.
Milo- okay
Magnus- someone Danish or thereabouts
Oliver- okay
Rory- okay

I don't think much other than 'they must be boys'!

I like Angus and Cameron best

I like Angus best

Love Rory.

Can't get past David Cameron for Cameron.
Like Angus a lot. He is burly.
Fergus is a good name and a good guy.
Dislike Kelvin.
Milo is alright.
Don't like Magnus and he'd need to be smart with a name like that. People calling you 'Mastermind' when you are struggling at school would be irritating.
Oliver is nice but I like the full name much more than Ollie.

Milo is Irish surely? I think of the energy drink.

Not keen on Kelvin but all the others are great.

Angus: Bit of a knob, rugby player, ok ish bloke now (knew one at school!)
Cameron: David
Fergus: Fungus
Kelvin: McKenzie
Milo: Tweenie
Magnus: Magnusson but this doesn't put me off
Oliver: Lovely
Rory: My cousin who needs to grow up!

Ditch Cameron, Magnus & Kelvin and your on to a winner with any of the others

Angus, Cameron, Fergus - Good traditional Scottish names (add Alistair, Duncan and Gordon to the list too!)
Kelvin - I like it, but it not popular
Milo - ridiculously trendy
Magnus - Icelandic or Scandinavian
Oliver - traditional, was a bit overused about 6 years ago but not so much now
Rory - undecided ...

Magnus is nice

I think why would Kelvin be included in that list.

Angus - geeky, a bit uncool, Scottish
Cameron - wealthy family, Scottish
Fergus - not the nicest Irish name, a bit uncool
Kelvin - will spend life telling people his name is not Kevin
Milo - ok, kind of cool, short for Miles
Magnus - ok, either Roman or Icelandic
Oliver - oh ye gods not another one
Rory - nice Irish name

All genuine first reactions - I won't claim they're rational!

I Iike them all apart from Kelvin & Oliver.

Instant reactions

Angus: man in a kilt
Cameron: one won Big Brother once, was regarded as boring
Fergus: Fergus the Bogeyman
Kelvin: real dislike
Milo: North London hipster
Magnus: Magnusson
Oliver: which Oliver?
Rory: a red head

Kelvin looks out of place in the list.
The rest are all perfectly good names that wouldn't be out of place in any Scottish classroom. Kelvin would stand out like a sore thumb

Angus - angry
Cameron - David
Fergus - fergie fur
Kelvin - our local plumber
Milo - trendy
Magnus - a really overweight man
Oliver - nice name
Rory - I would have chosen this if my husband could pronounce his "r"s

Milo sounds like an animals name. Kelvin is one step away from Kevin. I've always had a soft spot for Rory.

I like Angus and Cameron. Don't really like the others.

Angus seems like a cat's name though.

Angus - lovely, was at school with one (in England)
Cameron - the (female) character in 'Rivals'
Fergus - gorgeous name - could still kill DH for hating it
Kelvin - degrees of temperature
Milo - Tweenie
Magnus - Magnusson
Oliver - Army/Cromwell/ OK but a bit meh
Rory - OK

Angus - Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging.
Cameron - like it
Fergus - ok
Kelvin - like Calvin. I like it.
Milo - nah.
Magnus - no
Oliver - way, way overdone. I think the other names are quite strong but this is weak as water.
Rory - nice

Angus - beef and steakhouses
Fergus - ok but Ferg or Fergie are ugly nn
Kelvin - terrible. Kelvin MacKenzie, awful man Sounds like Kevin but even uglier.
Milo - nice but trendy
Oliver - nice, classic but v popular. Hate Ollie though.
Rory - lovely.
Cameron - lovely name, plus I like the nn Cam.
Magnus - quite grand, Scandinavian.
