how many males (in particular aged <10) called Magnus do you know?

[LetThemEatCake]

not counting Mr Magnusson.

I'm in Bromley Borough - know none.

london - none whatsoever, of any age. in fact the only one I 'know' is Magnus Magnusson!

None.

None.

one 40 year old Magnus in Germany. Not shortened to anything.

I would never have thought of shortening to Gus though

I guess it depends on where you live in the UK.

One 30+ and one 40+. One is Swedish.

None of any age.

I had an uncle Magnus, though he lived in Dundee I think he was from Shetland or Orkney where I seem to think it isn't such an unusal name (though could be making that up!)

None. I wanted it for DS but it got vetoed.

none, but i actually know a few labradors called Magnus (sorry)

I think we are pretty much decided on Magnus!!!!

now - a big ask, I know: but if you look at my pics you will see my children. They look pretty similar so we can more or less assume that next baby will bear a resemblance to them.

1. Do you think a child with these looks will suit the name Magnus?
2. Does the name Magnus sound good with Phoenix and Cassian?

thankee kindly

Ah, well I wouldn't count your chickens there, to be honest.

We have one dark-haired, brown-eyed, olive-skinned child and one blond, blue-eyed, pink and white-skinned child.

Amazing what genes will throw up. But I think Magnus will work anyway, and is fine with your other children's names.

OT but how do you walk in those shoes?! Gorgeous but a bit death-defying.

ah, it's a breeze when you're used to it! I trained as a stilt-walker in my youth

My 3 year old son is called Magnus. We totally loved it fron the start. I've recently heard of 2 other Magnuses in the area and to be honest, was slightly disappointed as I loved him being the only one.

I think Magnus goes very well with your other kids' names indeed. I've heard of a Magnus/Ivan combo which I like. I'm planning to call my 2nd son Conan. Magnus has Scots/Scandinavian/Classical links so can fit with lots of different names. We chose it in the Classical sense (meaning great) but most people have assumed we chose it in a Scottish sense due to me having Scottish relations. There is a Saint Magnus who was a king in the Orkneys. To me it is a noble and 'big' name which suits my son as he is very big and tall with a very full on personality!

none.

None.
