If I like Magnus...

What other names might I like?

We both like Magnus & keep coming back to it, but we both absolutely loved the girl name we'd chosen (Astrid) but don't feel as strongly about any male names yet (& we now know that baby is a boy).

DH likes Torsten too; I like it but don't love it.

Magnus is brilliant! Why are you trying something else? I've got an Angus who has friends called Hector, Marcus and Erik.

Just choose Magnus - it's a fabulous name! Hector is another really strong, similar sounding name that I love.

@Vallmo47

Are you Swedish OP? :) What about Mattias?
No - although my uncle has lived there for 30+ years & my aunt & cousins are. DH has some Norwegian heritage, although a few generations back.

Mattias - I like but our surname also has "tt" in it and it looks odd together.

I quite like Angus but not as much as Magnus.

I've not heard the name Thorus - Thorben has been considered though.

Marcus - not keen. Not sure why!
