Fully Anglicized, however, you would expect the band's name to be written something like "Angus More".
His father, of course, being Donald (Domhnall).
Oops! sorry. I did not read the post properly. Mohr is a german surname and I think has Celtic roots in one of the Celtic languages of which Gaelic is only one of several, which include Welsh, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Bretton, Manx and Cornish and have their source in central Europe. So it is not misspelled Gaelic. I cannot see any problem with the name and the band is Great, love their music.
