A colleague at work had her baby today ... And called him Maximus.

How can you not think of Russell Crowe and gladiator?!

I have taught 3 boys called Maximus.

I like it!

"Seriously" is a beautiful name. Good choice OP.

Bugger, baby waking. Going to have to be sensible now.

I love it. I've a friend called Maxwell and he's always said he'd rather be called Maximus as it sounds better.

Sailor?? Fantastic!

We seriously had CAPTAIN on our list for ds a couple of years ago. (dads got a very posh surname and Captain would have been marvellous but we chickened out.. Sad

I love Maximus.
When I saw the title I thought the name was 'Seriously'. which i actually kind of like too! Grin

I prefer it to Maxwell which makes me think of instant coffee. It'll be Max though I bet. Which is one the most popular boys names, so very very far from being 'out there'. If I'd clicked on this and seen Howard or Geoffrey I would have thought now that's interesting!
