Hi everyone, just looking for some opinions on baby names. Undecided between:
Magnus
Curtis
Axel
Roderick

If you could choose your favourite and give any opinions/other suggestions that would be appreciated! Smile

Terrific names, great list.

I think Magnus would be the favourite for me.

In a similar vein I also love Marcus and Frederick. What about Darius, Gustav or Johan?

grufallosfriend · 07/07/2017 22:07

All great classic underused names!

Mothervulva · 07/07/2017 22:08

Magnus. It's a great name.

Least favourite Axel.

overmydeadbody · 07/07/2017 22:10

Magnus is my favourite! Followed by Axel.

i like Curtis

NuffSaidSam · 07/07/2017 22:44

I like Curtis best. It's easy to say and spell, but really underused. I've never met a Curtis before.

Not keen on Axel or Roderick.

Magnus is nice, but for some reason always makes me think of a super villain, the type that some kids character would come up against!

Love Magnus. Quite like Curtis. Dislike the other two; no particular reason, just not my cup of tea.

Sophronia · 07/07/2017 23:22

I love Magnus!

Mrsknackered · 08/07/2017 01:28

Love Magnus and Axel. Both names for my imaginary future children.
I really don't like the other two!

UKrider · 08/07/2017 01:40

Magnus

Lunar1 · 08/07/2017 01:43

I'd vote for Magnus, but I may have watched shadowhunters too many times on Netflix to be impartial!

ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap · 08/07/2017 01:50

Curtis is great, OP (Curtis Mayfield instantly springs to mind).

SpicyBeanzy · 08/07/2017 02:18

Curtis is the best

Julymummy87 · 08/07/2017 08:51

Thanks everyone for your opinions! Magnus seems to be winning so far Smile

My Australian cousin is Curtis. Curtis went a bit like Bernard/Darren.

Roderick is open to, too many Rod/Dick jokes.

I like Magnus and even if he goes to a region where it isn't used, most children/people have heard of it because of Matilda, so it wouldn't be commented on.

grufallosfriend · 08/07/2017 15:44

Love Curtis!

FluffyWhiteSlippers · 08/07/2017 17:09

I love Roderick. Rod is a cool guy name.

Threeandabit · 08/07/2017 17:21

I like Curtis and Magnus. ... I have a feeling Magnus is about to explode in popularity though.
