I was watching an episode of Law
and Order SVU and one of the characters was a rich guy named Angus. I have
never been a fan of this name because I think of cows when I hear it. Of course
it does seem a wealthy persons name so it could work on a wealthy character, or
maybe as a long family history name.
Yay! It's great to see Angus on here. I always think of Angus as the name of an old Scottish gentleman. Mild tempered, but gets into mischief at times, much to the annoyance of his adult children.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think Angus gets a bad rap, and thus get's left out nowadays. I think that is a nice outlook on the name Angus. I can sort of see that now, LOL. :~)
