One of the only names DH and I agree on is Magnus. However when we told PILs that this was our top name choice, they laughed.
Thoughts??

Magnus is a brilliant name. Take no notice of those rude people. Really - fancy actually laughing outright at your son and daughter-in-law's choice of name. If that was me, it would make me more determined to use the name, just to teach them a bloody lesson.

Argh - I think we're going to use it too - we've just had a mammoth convo about whether Magnus and Rufus (DS2) work together and decided that we love the name Magnus so will probably go with it.

But after three DCs, I have learnt never to tell parents or PIL your choices - they never like them. confront them with a fait accompli and then they can't do/say anything . Stick to your guns -it's a FAB name.

My thought is - never ever tell anyone else your ideas for your baby's name before they arrive.

Also, if you both love it, go for it.

Hmm, not sure. It is quite posh. How about Marcus?
