Our surname is Lord. There aren't many boys' names I like, in fact I could probably count them on one hand. I hate all these 'new' names I hear so much these days. But DH and I were sat talking about names while waiting at the hospital the other day and we were looking at names of characters from films we like on IMDB. Anyway one of my favourite films is Gladiator and the main character's name is Maximus. Well I think that's an awesome name to go with Lord. Who would mess with Maximus Lord? Of course we'd call him Max most of the time, which we both like. But what do you think? Is it daft?

Don't think it's great, no... what if he's very short, for example?

Honestly? Yes.

Lord is a difficult surname to pull off IMO and I wouldn't go for a first name that sounded overly 'grand' for that reason.
