If I like Magnus...

[AwkwardPaws27]

What other names might I like?

We both like Magnus & keep coming back to it, but we both absolutely loved the girl name we'd chosen (Astrid) but don't feel as strongly about any male names yet (& we now know that baby is a boy).

DH likes Torsten too; I like it but don't love it.

Jock?

Felix
Fergus
George
Hector
Rufus
Rupert
Angus

Ragnar

Erik

Thorold

Rufus?

Love Magnus. What about Conrad?

Atholl

I know a Magnus and Atholl brother pair

Aloysius

Anders
Auden/Audun
Casten
Erling
Halvar
Jesper
Lars
Thor

Magnus is a lovely name. Perhaps you just haven't had the strong feeling because you were focussed on the girls name more - now you know he is a boy the name could grow.

I think you may be on to something there. I've had so many lovely suggest on this thread and I keep going back to / comparing them to Magnus. So I think that might be my answer!

Maximus?

I would say if you both like it then that’s a big step in the right direction.

What would it be shortened to though? We know a family that calls their Magnus Maggie.

Are both quite tall? You really wouldn't want a small Magnus!
