  1. We chose this name because it is his greatgrandpas name. And we find it unique and untraditional for our century so we thought it would be fun. We also call him “Angie” for short!

  2. Angus is a family name. He came 8 weeks early and was breathing on his own from the beginning. It’s a strong name. He suited it. We also like to call him Gus or Gussy boy 🙂

  3. Vaguely in the family, but mostly we loved how strong but also gentle it sounds. We were looking at different Scottish names, and this was one that didn’t sound lame to me in an American accent. 🙂
