Expecting first baby in March. Any thoughts on Magnus as a first name? (We are Scottish, but not highland).

I really like it. Would consider if ever to have a son- DH is of Scandanavian origin

It's OK, not my taste but nothing wrong with it. If you like it then go for it :)

I used to nanny for a little boy named Magnus. He had cherubic blond hair, big blue eyes and rosy cheeks, and I could never reconcile his looks to his name! That said, it has grown on me over the years. Now think it's quite distinguished!
