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.

The founder of my (paternal) family in Canada! Great-great grandfather Angus!He came to Cape Breton from Scotland. My cousin saw his grave.
Good name!

I always think of bulls :( I see it a lot in polls and here on the boards so it must just be me.

I like the name. Although I think it stands out too much anywhere except in Scotland or a strong Scottish community. It's just very Scottish I guess.

As a middle name

As a first name
Angus Dougal
Angus Duncan
Angus Peter

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.

I don't mind Angus and Gus is a cute shortening of the name. What about:

---

Angus Oliver
Angus Hugo
Angus Leo
Angus Milo
Angus Jordan
Angus Elijah
Angus Elliott
Angus Evan
Angus Ethan

---

Joseph Angus
Noah Angus
Charlie Angus
Samuel Angus
Wyatt Angus
Gabriel Angus
Isaiah Angus
Hamish Angus

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...

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
