Hector, Magnus or ?

[SunshineHello]

A week to go and still unable to agree on a name.

Are Hector and Magnus too pretentious?

what other names are similar?

I don't see them as pretentious and think both are nice. I think of Hector as a Spanish name but maybe that's just my experience. I really like Magnus.

I love Hector and Magnus (particularly Magnus). Other suggestions Sholto or Fergus.

I love Hector ( and I've tucked it away for A Future Cat) , I think of Hector's House ( ancient)

DC2 would've been Victor if she'd been a boy
Love Ralph and Fergus

I love Magnus and Hamish.

I love Magnus, I also really like Douglas.

A pp says that he was nice in the Iliad. But he came to such a violent and terribly sad end.

it is very popular in Italy.

Like them both but Magnus wins it for me.

The meaning of the verb 'to hector' isn't so nice, unfortunately. Also the nickname Heck?!

I much prefer Magnus.

Magnus is great.

Similar in feel: Struan, Lauchlan/ Lachlan, Fergus, Murdo, Innes, Angus, Hamish, Cahill, Ewan, Craig.

I have 2 of the above!

I’m due on Sunday and DS will be Magnus. So half of me would like to tell you what a fantastic name it is and you should definitely choose it, but the other half of me says YOU CAN'T USE IT NYAH NYAH.

Hector was also on our list! Both fab names :)

Knowing a three year old Hector I am biased but Magnus is lovely too..

Angus.

Fergus, Douglas?

Neither are pretentious, in fact both getting popular. I much prefer Hector.

Kester, Linus, Angus, Rufus, Edgar, Silas, Marcus, Matthias, Barnabas, Walter, Ivor, Amos, Oscar, Alistair seem similar names
