If you had a Rufus already, would you call another boy Magnus?

I love the name, but DH thinks that Rufus and Magnus is OTT

We're struggling with names for DC4...and having 6 months to find one isn't comforting - DS2 (DC3) took a while to get a name!

I don't think they're similar enough for you to have to avoid them. And both are really lovely names!

I have a Tristan and in looking for a name for (unborn) DC2 have the same issues over names like Ewan, Rowan etc; but most people think I'm just being overly sensiitive!

I wouldn't wory about it.

Sounds ok to me

I love Magnus and Rufus!

In what way is the combination OTT - because of the -us at the ends of both? Perhaps they sound a little similar, but if you love the name, I'd still use Magnus! Don't think they sound THAT similar.

I wouldn't for the same reasons as your DH
Sorry
