I like Magnus, but you need to find a compromise together.

Ask DH what he likes so much about Elliott. I love Magnus but I don't think you should browbeat your DH anymore than he should you. Try and find sounds and styles of names he likes and see if you can find something you both love. Magnus is very Scandinavian historically so if your DH feels no connection there it could be a turn off.
