I have a wee one called Magnus & I'm struggling to match a boys name with it for a sibling.

Names I like but not sure if they go.

Kester
Otis
Ezekiel
Felix

I feel Magnus is a strong feeling name so want to match the energy.

Any suggestions?!

Thanks!

Malcolm?

Otto?

FunnyOrca · 19/01/2026 12:18

I love Otis, but I think it sounds silly with Magnus (you are just a few letters off Magnum Opus)

Felix would be my top pick of your other names.

what about Otto?

Love Toren, Viggo& still loving Kester too.

I really love Tobias , my partner does not so it's not a contender unfortunately but it would be my top 3 if I had it my way.

Didn't realize how difficult it was to match siblings names!

I love Magnus!

Kester is nice, I haven’t heard that before
I think Felix goes with Magnus too but don’t think the other two do.

How about Anders? Scottish connection with it being the Nordic form of Andrew (I also like the sound of Magnus and Andrew)

As Scottish names that go, I like

Hamish
Lachlan

missblueberrypie · 15/01/2026 20:07

Felix sounds a like a cat not going to lie
