Magnus & Marius

[ashthedreamer]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries!

[name_f][/name_f]

I’ve been crushing on these two names today, and am playing around with them… I’ve been leaning toward [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] as a first and [name_m]Marius[/name_m] as a middle, but I’m open to both in either position. [name_f][/name_f] If you had to give them nicknames, what would you use? [name_f][/name_f] Is [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] nn [name_m]Max[/name_m] a stretch?

[name_f][/name_f]

Also would love to know your thoughts on these:

Would also love to hear any combo ideas you have, as well!

Thank you!

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] nn [name_m]Max[/name_m] is my go to. It makes the grandiose feel of [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] a little more approachable (though I really like Magee/Mcgee as a nickname too!)

[name_f][/name_f]

From your list [name_m]Finley[/name_m] [name_m]Marius[/name_m] is my favorite! I could see [name_m]Marius[/name_m] [name_m]Finley[/name_m] epsecially with the nn [name_m]Mars[/name_m] being super cute in front as well!

I’m a fan of both! Magnus is on my long list and Marius I find so romantic and classical.

Magnus - I’ve had Gus as a standing nickname for years but recently I thought of Moss. I could see Mags, Mo and Mac working too.

I think Max works as well as any of the above sound-wise, the only thing that makes me hesitant is that unlike the others, Max is a popular stand-alone name (currently #31 in Australia) and the go-to nickname for more obvious choices like Maxwell. It would be quite surprising in that sense, and probably confuse some people.

Marius - I’m not sure I would use a nickname – there’s nothing that stands out to me. Mars and Ari seem the most straightforward. Moss could work, perhaps Mal?

Soren Magnus is my favourite from your two Soren options – but I would expect the person to have Scandinavian heritage. The flow works better for me too – it’s a very handsome pairing. It reminds me of snow topped mountains and pine trees.

Finley Marius is my preferred choice from your two Finley options and overall favourite. I find Marius a little more unexpected, and I like how the classical Marius grounds the sing-songy Finley. It reminds me of the deep blue sea.

Augustine Marius feels well suited, a little saintly. I get serious, scholarly vibes.

Rhys Benjamin Marius is my least preferred from your list. The vibes feel a bit muddled, perhaps from all the different origins. I don’t mind repeating sounds in Rhys and Marius, but not sure I like the chewy consonant sounds from Benjamin in the middle of the smoother sounds.

Desmond Marius sounds great to me, just a little ‘m’ heavy. Feels gentlemanly and a little gothic.

I also like [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] and [name_m]Marius[/name_m]! [name_m]Max[/name_m] is a bit stretchy as a nickname for [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] but I think it can work.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Soren[/name_m] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] and [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Marius[/name_m] are my favorite combos from your list.

@LibelluleClaire[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- thank you! [name_f][/name_f] Yeah I was thinking that about [name_m]Max[/name_m] as well… I don’t adore [name_m]Max[/name_m], but it does make [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] feel more approachable and I’m not sure I can think of a nn I like more.

[name_f][/name_f]

@kachenka[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- thank you! [name_f][/name_f] I’ve had that concern about [name_m]Soren[/name_m] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] as well… I do have Nordic ancestry but not strong enough to feel like I can get away with [name_m]Soren[/name_m] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

@Johannaa[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- thank you! [name_f][/name_f] I like [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] [name_m]Marius[/name_m], it reminds me of [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m] which I loved for a long while. [name_f][/name_f] I don’t know that I love it more than [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m] which has been on my list for a long time, though!

[name_m]Soren[/name_m] [name_m]Marius[/name_m] → love [name_m]Soren[/name_m], but with [name_m]Marius[/name_m], it’s a bit S- and r- heavy

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Soren[/name_m] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] → I like this one [name_f][/name_f]- handsome and rugged but not too much

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Finley[/name_m] [name_m]Marius[/name_m] → ocean vibes but I feel like it’s not quite right [name_f][/name_f]- missing something?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Finley[/name_m] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] → I prefer this [name_f][/name_f]- nicely balanced and cohesive and I enjoy both names

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Augustine[/name_m] [name_m]Marius[/name_m] → grand and poetic, but with a summery vibe

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Rhys[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Marius[/name_m] → not loving [name_m]Rhys[/name_m] and [name_m]Marius[/name_m] in the same combo and I don’t think either is show cased here (sorry!)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Marius[/name_m] → strong and solid [name_f][/name_f]- reminds me of the sea again, in a good way.

[name_f][/name_f]

Overall, favourites are [name_m]Soren[/name_m] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] and [name_m]Augustine[/name_m] [name_m]Marius[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Marius[/name_m] [name_m]Gethin[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

I think [name_m]Max[/name_m] works for [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- same origin, right?

[name_f][/name_f]

I’d consider:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] → [name_m]Moss[/name_m], [name_m]Gus[/name_m], [name_m]Mac[/name_m], [name_f]Mags[/name_f], [name_m]Maz[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Marius[/name_m] → [name_m]Maz[/name_m], [name_m]Mars[/name_m]

[shanade213]

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_m]Aurelien[/name_m] was my immediate first thought.
