Help[Opinions] Angus was a personal name before it was the name of beef
in reply to a message by Spree
It is the beef which was named after a man, not the other way around.
Angus was the "Irish god of love and youth" and also the name of kings.
Do you really order "Angus" at McDonalds in USA?
I like the Celtic names Angus and Fergus, but I guess I don't understand your kind of humour.

So you got to please yourself."

There are very few people (excluding namenerds) that would know that Angus started out as a name. Most (at least in the US) will think of the cow.
The new thing at McDonalds, Burger King and Hardee's is "Real Black Angus Beef"
I didn't mean to insult Celtic names, but in the US Angus is beef and that's just something to keep in mind when naming a child that lives here. Fergus (I didn't even touch on that name) is nmsaa, but not a bad name.
