My DH is a huge Ridley Scott fan. He wants to call our son Maximus Decimus Meridius.
I’m not so sure. I’m worried he might get bullied?

Great name almost on the same level as sparticus

Seriously? If this is true, I can only hope that your son will be known as Max and no one will ever be told the remainder of his names.
