I love the name [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]!
Me and my boyfriend are both short though so he’s put off by the meaning and we probably won’t use it.
My top 3 of your names would be:
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]
I guess us endings win for me!

I love [name_m]Augustus[/name_m], [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] (favorite), [name_m]Linus[/name_m], [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] & [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] (I prefer [name_m]Phinnaeus[/name_m]).

I voted for [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m], [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m], and [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]. [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m] is my favorite–it has a great nickname, [name_u]Ari[/name_u], and a great meaning, “the golden one”.

Others I really like are [name_m]Cassius[/name_m], [name_m]Andreas[/name_m], and [name_m]Artemus[/name_m]. [name_m]Artemus[/name_m] is tricky to use on a boy, obviously, but I think it’s so cool and bold, and this spelling is more masculine than the goddess’s name.
