I really like the name Magnus but can't use it as its the name of a close friends child. Can you please suggest similar names?

Also can't use Angus as it is used already by a family member

Mine was nearly a Magnus….well thank fuck we didn’t to for that because he’s the tiniest in the year 😂

Mine's turned out a giant 😂

We've got Magnus on our shortlist! We're alternating between it and Max for the top spot, but we can't work out what the long form should be for Max!

There's also Manus, but that's one of the kids in Motherland, I'm sure...

Sorry, should have read your post first! I just duplicated the motherland trivia Grin

The kid in Motherland is called Manus, quite similar
