I have a wee one called Magnus & I'm struggling to match a boys name with it for a sibling.

Names I like but not sure if they go.

Kester
Otis
Ezekiel
Felix

I feel Magnus is a strong feeling name so want to match the energy.

Any suggestions?!

Thanks!

Odin.

MrsMoastyToasty · 15/01/2026 17:40

Torsten - it's the only nordic name I know
Scott
Cameron, Leslie and most of the clan names but I don't like MacCauley or Mackenzie.(a bit overused)

Murray or Stirling are names i considered for DS (we are an English-Scottish family and are really into Formula One).

Murdo / Murdoch
Hamish
Douglas

I like Kester. Also Torren, Torben (Thorben?) and Ossian. Struan and Ruaridh (all variations of spelling!) Are also lovely. Alexander is a good solid name, one i would have used had half my family not already used it (the other half used James, again a good name!).

Torin

I really like Viggo, never heard of it before
Viggo was in Lord of the Rings, among other things.

A Swedish friend has 2 sons: Vilgot and Anders.

I don’t think you can have Felix Fraser.
Murdo Fraser
Angus Fraser
Carson Fraser

Felix sounds a like a cat not going to lie

user2848502016 · 15/01/2026 21:00

I love Magnus!

Kester is nice, I haven’t heard that before
I think Felix goes with Magnus too but don’t think the other two do.

How about Anders? Scottish connection with it being the Nordic form of Andrew (I also like the sound of Magnus and Andrew)

As Scottish names that go, I like

Hamish
Lachlan

Love Toren, Viggo& still loving Kester too.

I really love Tobias , my partner does not so it's not a contender unfortunately but it would be my top 3 if I had it my way.

Didn't realize how difficult it was to match siblings names!
