What does everyone think of the name *Magnus?

Saw it on another thread and really, really liked it! It's one I haven't heard of very often at all.

I like it a lot! It's a real, solid name in the Angus/Malcolm vein, reads as a bit Scottish to me, and is quite unusual but not loopy.

Love it.

I like it. But I know of a few younger ones now called it. Definitely on the rise.

@daisypond I wondered if it would be!

Love it.

Excellent name.

Love it. I saw the same thread I think!

Brilliant name

Yes, there was 111 boys called Magnus last year! I thought it would be way rarer! Not sure how I haven't came across it sooner!

Only know of one - he’d be mid-thirties now. He has brothers called Rupert and Guy and a sister called Brittany.

Magnus Carlson. Coolest Norwegian there is right now.

I love it in Scotland or Scandinavia!
It was on my shortlist but dropped off when I heard a parent call out 'Magnus!' to a child scooting too fast and it sounded a bit much for suburban England. Here I prefer Marcus or Angus.

Very nice but I would expect him to be Scandinavian. Which may or may not bother you.

awesome name 👍👍👍

Absolutely love it. Was in my list but I had girls!

I like it a lot, and Malcolm. What nicknames could you use? I’m not sure how I feel about Gus!

I love it, for anyone with Scandinavian heritage. Not quite so much if you don’t.

Love it! He could be Max for short if you don’t like Gus.

I'm Scottish and I've known a couple. In both cases they've been strong, intelligent men. I like it a lot.

on the rise here in Scotland - the new Noah here

Awful. I am honestly surprised that so many people here like it. Reminds me of magnum ice creams. It sounds very trying to be 'different' try-hard.

It's one of my favourite names. I think it's strong and traditional and love nn Gus.

Love it

I like it, but I think it will become very popular.

Wonderful name!
