doh! Hadn't really thought of Gus as being short for Magnus. I know 2 of those, aged 3 and 5.

looking good, looking good ...anyone else? and - are any of you in London?

None

not keen on Gus ... is that an inevitable abbreviation, do you think?

One

Several. but half my family is from Norway. Personally i love the name. Had never heard it before my cousin called his son it.

I usually think of Gus as short for Angus of which I know quite a few but Magnus I know none personally. Like it though

yes, I would have thought angus = gus more than Magnus. I reckon Magnus would get abbreviated to Mags, if anything?

none

None at all. But it's a good name.

None (and I'm a teacher so have own dc's school and place of work to compare). Are you naming after the creator of sportacus?!

If you're concerned about popularity, have you been to the Bounty site? I would never pick a child's name without checking there first.

It will tell you where it comes on the list of children's names for the previous year and whether it is rising or falling in popularity.
