A colleague at work had her baby today ... And called him Maximus.

How can you not think of Russell Crowe and gladiator?!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Have you not read recent threads about children being called Cupcake, Peach and Yoshi?

Maximus is very civil all things considered.

Nope. Makes me think of max headroom (remember him?)

How to avoid the association?

a) by never having seen the film and,
b) not being totally sure I could pick Russell Crowe out of a line up.

It's a lovely name (as long as there is no sibling Gluteus)

"How can you not think of Russell Crowe and gladiator?! "

I didn't. Never seen the film. Never wanted to.

I quite like Maximus (wouldn't use it myself) but it's a condom company (my first thought, then Russell Crowe).

What would you have called him
Op?
