Longer name for Gus

Boy Names
1

I love the name [name_u]Gus[/name_u] a lot and do like it used on its own but would also love to have a longer name for [name_u]Gus[/name_u].
I like August/Augustus but it doesn’t feel like it gives the same vibes as [name_u]Gus[/name_u]
And the only other names I have come across are [name_m]Fergus[/name_m] and [name_m]Angus[/name_m] which I’m not set on

I have come across the name [name_u]Guthrie[/name_u] which I absolutely love, which everyone I have told hates and would you be able to get the nickname [name_u]Gus[/name_u] from Guthrie??

I think [name_u]Gus[/name_u] works as a nn for [name_u]Guthrie[/name_u]!

You could also do [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_u]Augustine[/name_u], [name_m]Gustav[/name_m] or [name_m]Gaius[/name_m]!

I think [name_u]Guthrie[/name_u] ‘Gus’ could work!!!

A few others:

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Gaius[/name_m]
[name_m]Gulliver[/name_m]
[name_u]Douglas[/name_u]

[name_u]Guthrie[/name_u] is adorable and [name_u]Gus[/name_u] could totally be a nickname! From what has been mentioned so far, I love:

[name_m]Fergus[/name_m]
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]
[name_u]Augustine[/name_u]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Gustav[/name_m]

I’ll add:
[name_m]Mingus[/name_m]
[name_u]Constantine[/name_u] (no idea why but [name_u]Gus[/name_u] is a traditional nn for this)
[name_m]Argus[/name_m]
Ghassan
[name_m]Gustavo[/name_m]
[name_u]Gusty[/name_u]
Lugus
Pelagus

It could work as a nn for [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] (especially with a G middle name).

[name_u]Guthrie[/name_u] nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u] works

I have an uncle [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] who goes by [name_u]Gus[/name_u]

The mouse in [name_f]Cinderella[/name_f] was named [name_m]Octavius[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u].

You can make a nickname out of almost anything! If you love [name_u]Guthrie[/name_u] then [name_u]Gus[/name_u] is a perfect fit. [name_f]My[/name_f] first thought is always [name_m]Gustav[/name_m] but August/Augustus is a close second.

I’d look for G- names like
[name_m]Gordon[/name_m]
[name_u]George[/name_u]
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m]

[name_u]Or[/name_u] -us names like
[name_m]Cassius[/name_m]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_m]Demetrius[/name_m]
