If I like Magnus...

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.

Magnus is nice. How about Quentin or Raphael?

I have a Magnus. His name has brought me real joy, and is so well received, particularly by men, I’ve noticed. But if you don’t really love it, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Others we liked were Rollo, Uther, Loxley, Tristan and Erik.

Magnus is great! I know two Astrid + Magnus sibling sets! One has another brother Henrik as well.

Oh I love that!
Scandi names are just so... Classy, yet sort of understated in a wholesome way.

Sorry or Søren. That second letter would be problematic though.

midsomermurderess · 21/01/2022 14:00

That should be Sorley.

Maximilian

We have similar taste. This is my boys names list. One of these is my son’s name, will if we have another boy Magnus is my front runner (Id like Gus but don’t like August/Augustus) DH unconvinced though.

Ragnar, if you really want to go for it!!

Magnus nn Mansie is great.

Torbjorn?

But if you have an Astrid you must then call her brother Magnus. It's an absolute social convention around here, anyway.
