Due with our third baby next month.
I’m struggling a bit with a third boys name.
Our older boys are Lachlan and Hugo.
My husband loves Angus. I don’t mind it but I don’t love it. In saying that, I don’t really have anything else that I like as much as he loves Angus…I want to let him have it but I’m scared of committing in case I never learn to love it.
What do you think of Lachlan, Hugo and Angus?
I think they’re a great combo
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], and [name_m]Angus[/name_m] are perfect together! Congratulations!!
[name_m]Angus[/name_m] is very cool! Distinctive and rugged sounds, fits with your boys, unexpected but familiar
[name_m]Angus[/name_m] goes wonderfully with your other boys’ names. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like the nickname [name_u]Gus[/name_u]? Maybe that would help you like it more?
They all work perfectly together. It’s a great match.
I like it. What about [name_m]Fergus[/name_m]?
I personally don’t like [name_m]Angus[/name_m] (I’ll blur my reasoning in case you don’t want the negative associations: It reminds me of beef and also the word anus). That said, the style matches very well with your other sons’ names. [name_m]Fergus[/name_m] and [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] come to mind as similar options!
I love this set! I really like [name_m]Angus[/name_m], I think he’s so warm and sweet and tough.
I think if you don’t love it, it won’t be the right pick. But I know I love it.
[name_m]Angus[/name_m] is so handsome! He feels cool, friendly and laid-back. The nickname [name_u]Gus[/name_u] is also quite fun!
If you don’t love it, though, maybe you could consider some other names? [name_m]Even[/name_m] if you don’t go for them, at least you’ll be sure that you’ve explored all your options! Some quick ideas that remind me of [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] & [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] are [name_u]Callum[/name_u], [name_u]Amos[/name_u], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m], [name_u]Beck[/name_u], [name_m]Cormac[/name_m], [name_m]Duncan[/name_m], [name_m]Fraser[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_u]Franklin[/name_u], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Finbar[/name_m], [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m], [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_m]Maxim[/name_m], [name_m]Matthias[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_m]Otis[/name_m], [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], [name_m]Ralph[/name_m], [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u], [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], and [name_m]Thorin[/name_m]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] in case you like any of them!
So I say if you don’t love it don’t go for it because it’s YOUR baby.
I would also be personally concerned about “cow” associations but that might be regionally dependent.
In its place, maybe [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]? That way you get the same sort of sound/feel but a little more wearable and, IMO, goes with the boys names?
[name_f]Remember[/name_f] it’s YOUR baby too and you ought to at least like the name too, if not love it!
A few others: [name_u]Atlas[/name_u], [name_m]Ansel[/name_m], [name_m]Cormac[/name_m], [name_m]Innes[/name_m], [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m], [name_m]Duncan[/name_m]. Hopefully this helps! 
I’m in the minority here but I wouldn’t ever think to use [name_m]Angus[/name_m] with [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] & [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]. [name_u]Amos[/name_u] or [name_u]Ames[/name_u] would be a closer match in my mind. I have similar feelings about [name_m]Angus[/name_m] as @may.rose (the former association springs to mind).
That being said, I do think [name_u]Gus[/name_u] would be a cute nickname with the set and if you don’t see any problems with it and you two don’t find anything you like more, I wouldn’t not use it just because a few others disliked it

[name_m]Angus[/name_m] doesn’t feel like it fits with [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] to me. [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] feel much more modern and usable. [name_m]Angus[/name_m] always makes me think of a cow and feels very dated to me.
Definitely a yay! Friends of ours called their youngest [name_m]Angus[/name_m] and it took me by surprise at the time, but it’s actually such a sweet name and I’ve grown to appreciate it. I think it goes with your sibset very nicely.
[name_m]Angus[/name_m] fits so well with [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]. I love it but if you don’t you should keep looking. I also love [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] for you. It feels close, but different.
Congratulations! I love the name [name_m]Angus[/name_m]! I think [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], and [name_m]Angus[/name_m] go together wonderfully
