I heard the name Magnus on a little boy today. Not sure about the spelling, but pronounced like Agnes with an m. Definitely not my style.

I thought it was a girls name when I first read it. Seeing it spelled "Magnus" though changed my mind a little bit, it's not bad.

I like it a lot. It used to be one of my top favorites, and I still think it's really neat.

The boy's name Magnus is pronounced MAG-ness. It is of Latin origin, and the meaning of Magnus is "great". A royal name in Norway and Denmark; also a saint's name. The name was introduced from Scandinavia to Scotland. (from thinkbabynames)
here in germany i know... like 7 men named magnus. we pronounce it like MA-gnuss -.-
