Can I have a Max Smith?

Or are there too many 'SSS' sounds in the middle?

We also like a number of other names with the same issue e.g. Lawrence Smith.

Obviously the sound flows better with the middle name but I know from experience that is not what is used a school, doctors etc...!

Spelling issues like mine! I've no idea why I spelt it like that. I think most people can spell it.

Problem is, we can't agree on that many names and we really like Max. I like those names tammy, but not enough to have any of them to be honest.

I'm already beginning to think of him as Max so I do need to resolve it one way or the other!

Maximillion would be a solution I suppose but it wouldn't be used and there might be spelling issues!

thanks for your thoughts

I think it's ok. How about Maxim or Maxamillion if you're worried?

Although that does sound Lauren Smith...!

How about
Reuben Smith
Quentin Smith
Henry Smith

Sounds like Mac Smith!

I prefer Lawrence Smith.
