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!

Sorry but Kester makes me think of Fester 😬

Ezekiel- He will likely be having to spell it out each time and a mouthful. Well, 4 syllables.
Otis and Felix I like.

Torsten
Seton
Oskar/Oscar
Henrik
Axel

We have a Murray.

I also really like the name Kerr.

I LOVE Kester.

CrostaDiPizza · 15/01/2026 09:30

Kester is the best from your list.
Ezekiel - too long, will be Zeke
Otis and Felix sound wet to me.

How about Torben?
