I know a 40 year old Magnus.

OP I don't think so. My DCs and their friends are having babies every month and I haven't come across a Magnus yet.

Magnus. Like it a lot. Don't like the others.

Magnus

Really like Vincent and Magnus.

Not crazy about Elton but on the good side it is simple but unusual.

My offerings:
Nelson
Charles
Gustav
Erik

Magnus!

Vincent seems more timeless

Is Magnus one of those trendy names tho? That will seem a bit dated or something in a few years ?

Magnus is great.

I have a soft spot for Vincent.

Don't like Elton. Always thought it was a made up stage name when I was a kid.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 25/11/2017 00:09

Vincent is very cool though. Vincent Van Gogh, Gene Vincent, Vincent motorbikes.

holdbackonthewine · 25/11/2017 00:07

Love Magnus.

RebeccaWrongDaily · 24/11/2017 23:59

i dislike Elton, i know a lovely one, but it's just not a great name.
I really really really don't understand Vincent- it's clanky but seems to be popular on MN. i really really don't get it
Magnus is ok- angus is better or Fergus.

What's the other kid called?

NannyR · 24/11/2017 22:53

I like Magnus best, I like Vincent but not keen on Vince or Vinny. Don't like Elton at all.

twinkledag · 24/11/2017 22:51

Go with Elton!

Dolwar · 24/11/2017 22:49

I don't like any of them sorry

DuggeeHugs · 24/11/2017 22:13

Magnus

LadyPug · 24/11/2017 22:12

I know I’m probably in the minority but I love Elton! I think it’s awesome and yeah yeah Elton John but who cares?!

lunar1 · 24/11/2017 22:11

I love Magnus but my love for Harry Shum Jr may be clouding my judgement!

Cockatoo23 · 24/11/2017 22:09

My son is Magnus James. We call him Magnie as that is the traditional nn for Magnus in this area of Scotland. I think Magnus is a lovely strong name.

HettyB · 24/11/2017 21:43

Magnus

ByThePowerOfRa · 24/11/2017 19:02

Magnus!

CocoLoco87 · 24/11/2017 18:18

I think Magnus is my favourite bit I would definitely end up calling him Mags

NotAgainYoda · 24/11/2017 18:17

.. sorry, should have said that I dont really love any of your choices. Sorry

NotAgainYoda · 24/11/2017 18:16

If you like John, what about Evan? It's the Welsh variant of John. And it begins with E...

I suggest:

Victor
Leon

pipilangstrumpf · 24/11/2017 18:06

I like all three! Especially Vincent and Elton. Kids born now won't really know or care about Elton John. Plus, he's a cool association, no?
