Help[Opinions] Re: Angus
in reply to a message by BBH
I've never liked Angus. It either reminded me of beef or of the word 'anus.' Apparently, I'm not the only one. I met a woman about a year ago with two grandsons. The first was two years old and the younger son was named Angus. The two-year old couldn't say Angus and so the baby ended up being called, you guessed it, Anus. This obviously bothered the grandmother and she told me she hoped the older brother would eventually learn to pronounce Angus properly. Now I'm not saying someone named Angus would be constantly teased, but the potential IS there.
Mainly, Angus doesn't appeal to me aesthetically. It's not that it's too butch. Having said all this, I do think Angus is a name that must be grown into. A man could definitely wear it better than a small child, that's for sure.
As an aside, I love the name Duncan and it's a family name for me, however, my dh can't stand it and says it reminds him of Duncan Heinz and Dunkin Donuts. Again, more teasing potential. A shame.
