Max or Martin, but not Maximilian.

Cookit · 12/06/2019 16:00

Maximilian for sure. As per a PP these names don’t seem remotely similar to me.
Martin is a 55 year old man.

SirVixofVixHall · 12/06/2019 15:56

I like Martin. I know two and they are both really lovely men.

MotherOfSoupDragons · 12/06/2019 15:54

Martin.

Fillypants · 12/06/2019 15:53

Max. Just Max. Martin is horrendous.

Eleanor90 · 12/06/2019 15:51

Maximilian is amazing!

Martin is dowdy.

PinkieTuscadero · 12/06/2019 15:50

I've never met an interesting Martin. Bores one and all.

Expressedways · 12/06/2019 15:49

Definitely Maximilian, although I’d personally abbreviated it to Max. I personally think Martin is dated and not in a good, overdue a comeback way.

tiramisu1 · 12/06/2019 15:48

Martin! Definitely much more interesting than Max(imilian).

justanswerthephone · 12/06/2019 15:13

Maximilian is such a mouthful.

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 12/06/2019 15:10

Max definitely
Martin is a horrible old name that will hopefully never come back!

PinkieTuscadero · 12/06/2019 14:43

Very different names

One’s very jazzy and one’s very Honda Jazz.

I'd go for plain old Max.

CoffeeRunner · 12/06/2019 14:38

Maxwell?

Moominfan · 12/06/2019 14:36

Maxim

Sophronia · 12/06/2019 14:34

Martin is more unusual on a baby nowadays.

Saisong · 12/06/2019 14:33

I like Martin - makes me think of the birds and summer.

DramaAlpaca · 12/06/2019 14:33

Just Max. Martin is very dated & Maximilian is too much name for me.

Rystall · 12/06/2019 14:31

Maximilian. Unusual you’re considering both OP, I think they’re very different types of names. I only know middle aged / elderly Martins.

FizzyGreenWater · 12/06/2019 14:29

Neither, I would have Malcolm (Mal)
