[Opinions] Angus
What are your thoughts on Angus? What first or middle name(s) would you use with it? Whenever I hear it, I always think, "Ah, such a lovely name!" then promptly move on and forget about it. Much obliged!
Ottilie

I hear the beginning of the word anger, and that makes it impossible for me to like as a favorite. But I like it as a name for someone else's kid, I think.
I might put it with my other favorite names that seem very Scottish to me:
Angus Malcolm
Angus Duncan

I don't like it. Angus is dated, frumpy, butt-ugly and easy to make fun of. For example, you remove the "g" from the name, you are left with, and I'll have no choice but to say this bluntly, anus. Angus would most likely end up with the nickname of Gus or Gussy and I also dislike those. I envision a "Gus" to be some grossly overweight, weezing male with bad gas and no table manners. Combos anyway...Angus Oliver
Angus Larry
Angus George
Xavier Angus
Remy Angus
Angus William Ray
Angus Skyler Rob
Angus Paul
Angus Morgan

I like it! I have a family member Angus Leo, who is called both Angus and Gus. It reminds me of him, and generally gives me the impression of being a friendly sort of name.

A little late to the game, but just want to say that Angus has quickly become one of my favorite names in the last few months! He's angelic and handsome, yet current associations pull him down to earth; he sort of has an natural comedic air that makes him charming rather than obnoxious. I think about Angus Robert quite a bit. Angus Rupert? Angus Roger?Also people are like "ew angus beef" but hey I like beef.
