Charlie or Max?

[MouseHouse17]

Would be Charlie/Max on BC.

Thanks.

Charlie

Charlie.

Max

I LOVE Max!

Charlie

I have a Charles/Charlie named after my grandad. Love the name but he's one of 10 Charlie's in a relatively small school. There are 3 called Max too though!

Max, it's a lovely name.

I like Max a lot. Don't like Charlie at all.

I'd vote for Max. I think it works as a short name in its own right as well as being a short form of other names.

If it was going to be Charles on the birth certificate but known as Charlie I'd probably go for that.

I've got both Charlie and max and I love both names obviously lol. I know a few Charlie's and they are all cheeky but in a good way and the Max's I know are all relaxed.

Both very popular and may start to sound dated as the fall out of favour. That may or may not bother you of course .

If I had to choose, then probably Max(imilan).

Max

Max gets my vote!

I'd vote for Max.

I love the name Charlie (it's my son's middle name!) but I prefer Max as a first name for some reason!

Another vote for Max :)

Max is on my list

I have ds with one of those names and cat with the other! Both names are fab and I think they have really equivalent "weighting"/connotations IYKWIM (unlike maybe Charles and Jago or something) and so just go for the one you like best. Charles/Charlie I think will always work well. One good thing about Max is it can't really be abbreviated. Both really nice.

If you go for Charlie is it worth having Charles on the BC?

See I don't get the birth certificate thing MrsEric Why put Charles on a birth certificate if his name's Charlie?
Usually someone comes along on these threads and asks 'but what if he wants to be a high court judge/important type/has a very serious job? No-one will take him seriously!'
A bit of paper makes hee haw difference. If he decides he wants to call himself Charles or whatever when he's older he can (birth certificate or no birth certificate)
I'd go with Charlie OP

I don't know if he could say "just call me Charles" if he wasn't though. Agree though that if he'd only ever be Charlie then fine for that to be on BC.

Max

He can call himself whatever he wants so long as it's not to commit fraud. You have to use your official name on official documents but not when introducing yourself to friends/colleagues etc.

I like both, with Max just shading it.

Max - and I'm biased

Charlie. By a mile.

Love both ( not helpful)! My sons middle name is Charles. If I had to choose it would be Max!
