I don't like any of them. Aengus and Angus seem too medieval to me and I associate Angus with the name Argus and with Argus Filch (a character from Harry Potter I don't like).
On the other hand, Innes seems feminine because of Inez and Ines, which are actually feminine.

Nowadays, Innes is just another lnfn. Aengus is historically interesting but would be a constant source of confusion in today's world.I love Angus. Wouldn't use it, not having any Scottish heritage, but I've always wanted to use it for a male Scottie; preferably with brothers Fergus and Magnus.

Aengus very medieval looking, doesn't traslate well to this era.
Angus works well.
Innes is associated with Neil Innes to me, so doesn't seem much like a first name.

🔲 Aengus looks weird and I don't know how to pronounce it. Maybe AYN-gus? I don't like it.🔲 Angus is a handsome Latin name, but unfortunately in my language (Indonesian), it is similar to the word hangus, which means burnt.🔲 Innes sounds like Medieval English name. Don't like it, it looks like a girl's name too.

Aengus: this looks awkward
Angus: this looks better but it’s too associated with cattle for me to appreciate on a human, plus it’s one letter different from a certain body part. I think I prefer something like Fergus or August/Augustus “Gus
Innes: I like Inez for a girl or Ennis for a boy, but this doesn’t appeal to me as a person’s name. I have an association with it as a place name
