Elton will always conjure up ‘John’

Magnus is great.

EssentialHummus · 24/11/2017 15:25

Magnus by miles for me.

Iwanttousethatname · 24/11/2017 15:33

I really like Magnus, but not a fan of mags / Maggie potential shortening !

I like Vincent the most.

I like Magnus and Vincent. Would probably also like Elton if it wasn't for the John connection.

Magnus is great! I also like Marius, which has a similar feel.

No problem! And fair enough about Elton. If you really love it and think you'll regret not using it, you should go for it.

Of course, there's always John too ...Wink

Iwanttousethatname · 24/11/2017 16:28

Well, funny you should mention that.. It is my fathers name ..
Lol

Sounds like you should go with Elton then.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 24/11/2017 16:50

Elwood (Woody) !

AnyaMoondial · 24/11/2017 18:01

Magnus!

I also recommend Cormac.

Further suggestions for you:

Marcus
Leonard
Elliot
Angus
Lawrence

pipilangstrumpf · 24/11/2017 18:06

I like all three! Especially Vincent and Elton. Kids born now won't really know or care about Elton John. Plus, he's a cool association, no?

If you like John, what about Evan? It's the Welsh variant of John. And it begins with E...

I suggest:

Victor
Leon

NotAgainYoda · 24/11/2017 18:17

.. sorry, should have said that I dont really love any of your choices. Sorry

CocoLoco87 · 24/11/2017 18:18

I think Magnus is my favourite bit I would definitely end up calling him Mags

ByThePowerOfRa · 24/11/2017 19:02

Magnus!

Magnus

Cockatoo23 · 24/11/2017 22:09

My son is Magnus James. We call him Magnie as that is the traditional nn for Magnus in this area of Scotland. I think Magnus is a lovely strong name.
