					Seamus or Hamish would be good choices though I lean much more toward Hamish. 
 What first popped into my mind when I saw it was "Angus."

  That’s no Jimmy! That’s Andy, if you must be that familiar.
 Jimmy is what a signalman calls the miniature of Mercury/Hermes that appears on his cap badge. And that’s short for a highly uncomplimentary nickname!

	Sorry, Mike, but I have it straight from the source: the 2006 programme for the North American tour of the Black Watch & Welsh Guards specifically refers to the St. Andrew's Sporran badge of the old RHR as "Jimmy", and not "Andy". I'll see if I can scan that page and send it to you.
