Oi! Gus is a fantastic name! I've got a 9 yr old Gus
but yes I think Gus is an inevitable nickname, I can't think of many boys who would be happy with Mags.

One aged one.

I have 10yr old and 7 yr old and know no Magnus's (we're near Newcastle). Do know a Gus at swimming which I quite like and think is unusual, he;s about 6, never thought if it was short for Magnus or not. I like it.

1 who is aged one

minouminou · 19/06/2009 12:59

Quite a few, now I've trawled my memory. It's a great name....bring it back.

Fimbo · 19/06/2009 13:04

1 over 10!

WowOoo · 19/06/2009 13:06

I know one, but he is in his teens. I think it is a great name

BelleWatling · 19/06/2009 16:38

I know several grown up ones...but they work in our Nordic office so probably not much help.

I love it though...adding it to my next baby name list.

bluebump · 19/06/2009 16:39

One but he lives in Denmark. Fab name!

ICouldKillMyExThisMinute · 19/06/2009 16:41

I know a seven year old

FanjolinaJolie · 19/06/2009 16:45

None, but we have a lovely friend in his thirties called Magnus, Mags for short. It's a lovely name, very noble.

singersgirl · 19/06/2009 16:51

2, one in his 30s and one in his 40s (latter is Swedish, though).

DesperateHousewifeToo · 19/06/2009 17:06

Magnus:

One in his mid-teens (was at school with 2 others I didn't know)

One 7yr old

Gus:

One about 6yrs old

One about 45yrs old

(both short for Angus tho)

DesperateHousewifeToo · 19/06/2009 17:11

Oh, and 'Sporticus'

KleineMaus · 19/06/2009 21:03

Don't know any, but really want to have my own one (if indeed this baby is a boy!) Fanjolina, my surname is Noble and I love the idea of him being Magnus Noble.

Cicatrice · 19/06/2009 22:13

I know one who is 3 years. Scottish/Danish parentage.

Nice name. And Gus is nice too.

norsk · 23/06/2009 16:06

Only one in the UK, 1 year old, loads in Scandinavia.

How on earth can Gus be Magnus?? Surely they're all either Angus or Augustus (or Augusta, I know a female Gus...)

Magnus would def be shortened to Mags, like Magne in a-ha back in the days.

cory · 23/06/2009 20:40

several in Sweden (mostly middle-aged)

none in the UK
