Jennifer Nettles

Jennifer Nettles country singer from Sugarland had her baby and named him

Not sure if I can picture a baby Magnus. Thoughts?

I don't mind Magnus. NN Gus is cool. 
I'm getting so big!

I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.

I wouldn't use Magnus but I like it, and I find the name she used pretty refreshing celebrity wise.

It's NMS, but not horrible.  I hope they call him Gus.  Magnus just sounds so professional.

It's NMS but it's a real name at least, hah. Isn't Magnus Will Ferrell's son's name too?

I don't love it but it is a real name and it is pretty normal on the celebrity name spectrum!

Not a fan.  It sounds like a fat german kid's name. IMO

I love her and had such high hopes for her child's name. I was disappointed. Ugh I don't like Magnus at all.

Same. While I don't think I would use it personally, I actually quite like it for someone else's kid.

Ha, no...I agree w/ you. For some reason, I just picture condoms when I hear Magnus. Who knows why?

It's not bad, but both of those names are a tad too harsh for my taste. I would have used one of those names for the MN.
