How about you take the first part of the baby's dad's name and the second part of your name?

Maddex is pronounced Madd ex in my head. Presumably you're pronouncing it the same as Maddox but spelled wrong?

I don't normally say this, but neither. Is it for a girl or boy? Have you considered using them as middle names?

Oh, you see, I'm South African and I never thought of the chavvy thing. Ahh, I think I get it now! It is a bit.

But they're different and unique don't you think? A change from the norm or should I say the Yawn!

So we like Max, but Maddex does sound like a painkiller.
How about Madmax?

WhipMeIndiana · 20/07/2011 13:23

max - lovely
maddox - bit chavvy
maddex is like a painkiller

It sounds like a parcel delivery service.

Or depression medication.

I personally think the pronunciation is better don't you?

It sounds industrial somehow. A cleaner? Solvent?

coccyx · 20/07/2011 13:20

both ridiculous, awful and too contrived

HoneyPablo · 20/07/2011 13:19

Better? In what way?

No, Maddex. It's a better version of Maddox I think

Agree with Belle

HoneyPablo · 20/07/2011 13:16

I quite like Maxdex

allhailtheaubergine · 20/07/2011 13:16

I keep seeing Maddex in Baby Names.

Surely you mean Maddox?

BelleEnd · 20/07/2011 13:15

I prefer 'or'

PfftTheMagicDragonhideGloves · 20/07/2011 13:14

It's a name mash-up! A RL version of Glee!

I prefer Samous and Thomuel
