What nicknames would you use/have you heard for Magnus?

[MagnusMama]

Thanks

Went to school with a Magnus. Lovely guy, very strong, muscular and good-looking but also very kind. Name's not my cuppa but I've always felt it suited him down to the ground. He was always Mag to us.

Maggie comes to the tip of my tongue. Would think I shouldn't use it as usually a girls name, but that's what I think of.

Mags?

I teach a Magnus and have never heard him called anythung but Magnus.

Mags - as in bloke from A-ha

mags.

i love this name

it's nice - always imagine a Mags with long hair (like bloke from A-ha I suppose!)

None TBH. My first love was a Magnus, he never got called anything else...

Magnus - a great name that should never be shortend!

I wouldn't shorten it. It's nice just as it is. Very strong and manly. IMHO.

Mags and Magoo (from parents)

I love this name - maybe he would be called 'Mags' by his pals...

(I have it on my boys names list)

The Magnus I knew - also lovely and good looking - was called Mag by everyone. We also called him Maggie but he didn't really like it!

I love the name but it doesn't work with the rest of my brood.

One of my old bosses was a Magnus. He was up himself, but name never shortened.

My brother is Magnus. He has a much more interesting name than me His school mates used to call him Maggie for a bit during the Thatcher years but generally he's Magnus to everyone now.

DD knows two, both teenagers, both known as Maggie.

The one I knew was nn Moona. He was/is lovely.

This is a family name for me (Orcadian connections) and DD would have been Magnus if she'd been DS2! I have relatives variously known as Magnus, Magnie and Mansie to distinguish them all from each other.

Mack? Saw it here, it's a variant of Magnus: www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Mack

Maybe, but he has to have something for babies to call him, especially if he's gonna have siblings..

My friend has a Magnus. He gets called Maggie or Magpie by almost everyone. I imagine this evolving into Mags during the teenage years and beyond. Lovely name.

I'd use Gus.

Magnus doesn't need a short form! It's a great name and easy to say!
