IME nobody remembers middle names anyway - we spent ages trying to find the perfect first and middle name for our DS and since then, apart from registering the birth, nobody has ever mentioned his middle name. I really like it and makes me wish I'd used something else so we could have saved it as a first name for our next DS (if we have one!). So Maxwell as a middle name might not be so bad!

We're considering Maximilian instead.

although a very cool Maxwell

Maxime is a foreign version of Max.

Couldn't Max be a middle name? George Maxwell sounds ok.

lazarou · 27/05/2008 15:35

How about gemax or Wellge

I hate Maxwell too so I vote for George! (Max is fine, too, but not Maxwell. Especially if your surname is House.)
