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

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...

I have a Magnus!

My only other option was Hunter. I did meet another Mum at baby group who was going to use Magnus but changed it to Gus as he was "too small and cute". He'll be about the same age as my boy now and mine has definitely grown into the name!
