I prefer Angus, but I can see not wanting to use it because it's popular. At least you could use the nn Gus (which I adore) with Argus. But Argus makes me think of Argyle socks. :-/

Argus is okay. Wasn't he the fellow with the eyes all over his body in the legend? I love Angus too, but it is very popular where you live. In the US it's not that popular at all. From your MNs I love Argus Jupiter and Argus Orion.

I think it's kind of cool, and would be tickled to see it on someone else's kid. Angus isn't at all popular here so there wouldn't be a need for me to find a likeable alternative to it, but Argus has appeal in its own right.

I like Argyle a whole lot, probably more than Argus, despite the first image it brings up for me being the sock pattern.

Argus makes me think of pirates saying "Arrgh!". I prefer Angus, though I understand why its popularity would turn you away from it. I do like the nn's Ari and Gus for Argus.

I like it. It makes me think of Argus from Greek Mythology (the guy who built the ship for the Argonauts). It's unusual, yet not too weird, and I think it's nicely spunky and cool. It's definitely fits in perfectly with the rest of your names (which are, BTW, absolutely wonderful. Love them all to bits). I really like the NNs Ari and Gus, too.

Do you know of Argos, the shop? Or is that just a British thing? Seriously, it's ALL I hear when I hear it.

I don't like it much at all. It reminds me of Argus Filch in HP. I quite like the nn Argie though...what about the similar Archie?
Archibald is very unusual here, would fit in with the other sibs names and Archie is a gorgeous name!
