Max alliteration

Wombat222 · 2023-01-21T19:16:13+00:00

I’m going in circles and returning here over and over again. I also sort of asked this a couple of months ago - sorry, didn’t quite get clarity. Max Marshall - yes or no? Feel free to give one word answers - I realise the alliteration is either loved or hated! I’m going to tot up the votes because I just cannot decide.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Absolutely do it 😊 I have an MM too 😊 and he’s a Max lol

Has anyone said it’s a superhero name? My other son thinks so and I’m stressed!

I love the name Max. Had an uncle called Max and thought it was a super-cool name. Have friends called Max. It's sophisticated and elegant, but also friendly like Sam. And it's unusual as far as I know.

I have a Sam too :)

Wow, OK.

OP, I hope you have support in real-life for whatever is behind your indecision. In the meantime the first step is to take yourself off boards like this one. There will always, always be someone waiting to tell you gleefully that they hate your chosen name. I've seen some absolute corkers about my own DC's names over the years. Max Marshall is a fantastic name.

Thank you, yeah it’s really messed me up reading people’s harsh thoughts on all my names tbh :(. Thanks though, you’re right x

Brilliant name! Love it. (Not a fan of Elliot, and like Max much better than Felix)

MotherOfHouseplants · 03/02/2023 13:48

You are six weeks pregnant or baby is six weeks old?

Take the pressure off. Register him with the name of both grandfathers as first and middle names. Change it later, if you decide that Malcolm Colin doesn't suit him

Thank you, it’s more the pressure to tell friends and family etc tbh

@Wombat222 , what do you call the baby when you refer to him or talk to him? Is he 'The Baby' or do you have a nick name for him (however silly/solemn)?

Just “the baby”. The thing is I know rationally they’re all fine - they’re not wild names! I’ve just read so much mumsnet and talked to so many people that I can’t see straight

I think it's great and totally agree with you with Eliot issue I once had 3 in the same class all spelt differently!!

FayCarew · 03/02/2023 11:35

Another thought, @Wombat222 , why don't you register him as Max Elliott Felix, then take your time to decide. You can change the name age up to 12 months.

Thats a nice name

RocketsMagnificent7 · 03/02/2023 07:47

I think Max Marshall works, has a nice rhythm.

And I love Max Elliot Marshall as a full name.

Is it overthinking to wonder if Max is weird because it’s sort of a word too - min and max sort of thing? I’m having a panic!

I actually really like the name Max Alliteration now. He'd be friends with Damian Grammaticus

Haha!
