I really like the name Gus for a little boy, but my husband hates the name Angus, which is what I would like to use as the formal name. Do you have any suggestions for other names that could have Gus as a nn?

You could get nn Gus from Fergus or August/Augustus.

Did he mentioned why he didn't like Angus? Is it the general sound or the burger/cattle association? If he doesn't mind the sound, perhaps you could talk him into Argus? Only one letter off, but without the whole beef thing ... enough to sway him? ;)

The only others I can think of besides those already mentioned are Gustav(e) or Gustus, but these only work with the right ln (and I much prefer Argus).

HTH :)

I think August is nice, and I agree about Angus (i don't like it either).

I think you would be fine just going with Gus alone. But if you want to use it as a nn, here are my suggestions. I apologize for any repeats.

Ferguson
Augustin
Gustin (Like Justin with a G)
Gustave

Good Luck! :)
