HelpRe: Angus
in reply to a message by Kate
I am torn on Angus. I want to like it. I like the sound of it, the look of it, and the Scottishy image. But since I live in the US where it's pretty uncommon as a name, and I have cattle farmers in my family, I associate it too much with the cattle! It's a struggle to get past.
I do like the nn Gus, and I think it makes Angus more approachable. I think Henry, Lucy, and Angus go together well, but there's something trendy-British about it.
I don't have any Angus-as-a-fn combos. Hmm. It's pretty tough, so maybe would be nice with something that softens it or makes it more playful?
Angus Julian
Angus Theodore
Angus Enda
Angus Graham
Angus Christopher*
Angus Damien
Angus Gulliver*
Angus Pherick
Angus St. John*
Angus Noel*
(*my favorites)

It seems like a lot of people have the association with Angus cattle. I don't, so that wouldn't stop me from using it.
I go back and forth on liking Gus. Part of me thinks it sounds silly.
Angus Julian - I don't normally like Julian but I sounds good here
Angus St. John - I like the idea of this, but I think the "s" sounds run together
Angus Noel - :-)
