Magnus?

[BarbaraBeast]

Hi all,
We’re due number 3 in October (our second boy) and I’ve had the same smallish list of boys names each time I’ve been pregnant however, Magnus has popped up on my radar again and I’ve never really considered it a serious contender until now. I think it flows nicely with my other children’s names too which is a bonus!
Any thoughts on this name?

If we were to go for it, I can imagine we would shorten it to Gus (which I love).
Other options are Bruno, Otto or Rudy.

Yep, Milo chocolate milk is still knocking about-I pick up a tin for my Milo whenever I come across one . He doesn’t drink it but loves to keep the tins!

I love it!

Love it

Not Otto, that's too much like otter!

Love it.

Love it. My only hesitance would be what if he’s tiny...

Fab name

Yes great.

As already said, the nickname is Mansie.

FizzyGreenWater Are you in Orkney? :)

It's a really good, strong name.

I have a nephew (aged 13) called Magnus. SIL is Danish.

@Aber9 My Magnus is actually v small and slight... but he is great
His personality is big!

Not keen on Magnus.

Angus?
Fraser?
Spencer?
Roscoe?
Owen?

@MagnusMama are you me? That's literally my exact boy name list!
If I have a ds2 he will be Magnus or Cosmo

I like it. I hadn't much thought about it before this thread but it's cool.
Bruno is really old fashioned in Italy btw.

One elderly family member did get a bit confused and would call him Mangus ( she couldnt get her head round his name wasn't Angus) It was sweet and funny.

Our Mag is now a strapping six foot blond viking and following his boyhood passion of boats with a career at sea.

Magnus is a name that works for all sizes. :)

Great taste Janeway!
