It would be a shame to change a lovely interesting name as Magnus into the imo overused Max. Magnus is lovely as it is!

The Magnus I know is just Magnus.

Names don't need a nickname! Lots of my friends don't use nicknames, nor do I and I have a 3 syllable name.

Manny or Max. Never Maggie, that's a girl's name.

Gus.

Magnus is lovely

Agree that it doesn't need a nickname. It's just two syllables and easy to pronounce.

Traditionally, the nickname was 'Mannie'. But - as previous poster with Orcadian connections explains - a nickname was only used when there were several members of the same family with the same name.

I know a few and it’s never shortened.

SemperIdem · 16/08/2023 21:15

I know of one, is about 10.

I really like the name.
