Mags
Mats
Espen
Eben
Fredrick (Freddy)
Felix
Otto
Sebastian
Casper
Innes
Torin

Callan
struan
Hamish

Love a lot of Play's suggestions too

Love Magnus! Or how about

Quentin
Darius

Toby?

great suggestions, thanks. really like them all.

i really like -us, -is, -es endings too.

how can i convince DH that Magnus is perfect?

Ask DH what he likes so much about Elliott. I love Magnus but I don't think you should browbeat your DH anymore than he should you. Try and find sounds and styles of names he likes and see if you can find something you both love. Magnus is very Scandinavian historically so if your DH feels no connection there it could be a turn off.

Marcus
Lucas

Rufus
Elias
Cassius
Rafferty

I like Magnus, but you need to find a compromise together.

Or Tobias with nn Toby?

Phew, had another chat with DH who has now come round to the idea. The bit he didn't like about Magnus was that he knew somebody with that as a surname, not that he didn't like it as such.

More discussion and we now have the following frontrunners.

Magnus
Hector
Linus
Archie

Also we tried Elliott out with his family's accent with a glottal T and it sounds baaad.

Magnus, Hector (Tor), Linus, Archie?

Frazer
Lachlan
Prentice
Angus

Lots of the suggestions here are spot on but can't be used for various reasons ie. siblings, cousins, pets, other kids we know etc.

Which ones are you liking but cannot be used? May help us think of something similar

Can't use:
Innes
Callan
Angus
Toby
Hamish

Others i like but vetoed by DH are:
Cassius
Ramsay
Darius

Hmmm maybe a little off track, but what about

Nathaniel nn Nate
Moses
Ezra
Solomon
Isaiah
Abraham nn Abe
Lawrence nn Wren or Law

Or more traditional

Benjamin
Daniel
Arthur
Ellis

Please don't call your baby Stalemate, it's a rubbish name.

Seriously though,

Robin
John
Leon
Lawrence

I really like Linus, Hector and Magnus from your names. DH warming to any of them?

Stalemate! Brilliant and so fitting.

Thankfully Magnus, Linus and Hector are all names we agreed on this morning. And the children too. (C a l u m and S o l). So feel like we're getting somewhere now.

Ned
Dennis (Den)
Jude
Skye
Raif
Finn

Fergus

If you like Elliot and Linus what about similar as a middle name

Magnus Eli
Magnus Lionel (great lion!)
