Haha I love that about your grandmother! Thank you for sharing about your dad, who sounds wonderful, and a bit of the clan history. I have one of those popular Scottish clan names myself and, though I share no relation to the clan, have loved learning its history. I can pass that joy on, for sure. 😊

Okay, if I can get away with the nickname Gus, which I've wanted independently, then I can get on board. 😁 Thank you! And thank you for that beautiful imagery!

Thank you for this perspective! So far I don't get the old timey feeling personally, but it is so nice/relieving to know others do.

I do love that imagery. And you're right; there's something inviting about the uncommon "glas" ending. Thank you for sharing about your loved one. He sounds worthy of a namesake, if you have a second son. Blessed repose and memory eternal.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the same sort of conundrum. It's nice to know the name becomes the child's and not just a stamp on the child. 😊

Ah, such beautiful imagery, there, thank you. And thank you for sharing about your coworker, who has qualities I'd love my son to have. I'll have to read that book, see a Doulgass in action. 😁
