Alternatives to Max

I am expecting DC3 and I have always loved the name Max but it really wouldn't go with our surname. Would end up sounding a bit like a razor or superhero!

I like Max because it's a strong name that can't really be shortened and it is not too common but not hugely unusual. Which other names do you think I might like too?

Dexter has the same 'feel' to me. (My DH vetoed both!)

Max was our alternative name but we went with Zachary (Zac). But I see you already need a short name so
