Brother for Magnus

Any suggestions, please, folks? We have a Magnus, and I just can’t think of anything I love as much. I do like names which maybe have a bit of an historical connection, although that’s certainly not essential. Someone on here suggested Wulfric the other day, which I absolutely love, but I have a sneaking suspicion I’m not quite cool enough to carry that off. So I’m looking for something on the same, very mildly bonkers level as Magnus. Also looking for something very masculine. Thank you for any ideas!

@Boireannachlaidir I LOVE the name Ranald - don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else mention it on here! My imaginary boys would have been Ranald and Hamish. As it is I have two girls and that’s quite enough for me 😂.
