When you hear the name Max...

[Sugarcoma]

Would you assume it's short for Maxwell or Maximilian?

DH and I both love 'Max' but agree it needs to be a bit longer on the birth certificate - but we can't decide whether it should be Maxwell or Maximilian and I'm curious to hear the MN consensus...

I would assume Max these days.

If you ask what's Max short for I would say Maximilian. If I had a Max (Which I don't) it would be Maximising.

*Maximilian

My nephew is called max, just max! It suits him so much he
Is bloody gorgeous

Just Max, that is enough ! 😄

My max is a Maxwell on his BC

Maximus, if I thought about it I suppose. Or Max Power. Awesome.

I'd assume it's not short for anything....at a push I'd assume Maximilian

We had this when we had DS as I felt max was too short we ended up calling him a different name last minute

I know an adorable Max. He's a Maximus and he truly is the greatest

I know two boys known as Max. One is a Maxim, the other I'm pretty sure is just Max.

Maxwell was the name of the example dog on Nintendogs so whenever I read the name I can hear the very American voice in the game calling "Maaaxwell! Maaaxwell!" For that reason alone, I prefer Maxim/Maximilian.

I would presume he was just called Max.
It's a fabulous name all on its own 😊

I think Maximillian because it's DS's name . It gets shortened to Max most of the time though.

I prefer Maxwell. Seems more old fashioned / traditional / classic to me. (Which I prefer). I can imagine a suave older gentleman called Maxwel, notsomuch for Maximilian.

Double L obviously.

I'd never assume, but personally know both a Maxwell and Maximilian.

Either work, so I'm no help. Sorry.

Maximilian
or Maximus Decimus Meridius
not Maxwell.

Dogs name. Sorry

I have a Maxwell but I call him Max (DH insisted he couldn't be just Max) only DH and MIL ever call him Maxwell, I kind of wish we'd gone with Maximus! Max is a great name

What about Maxim, i have a maxim and he loves his name

I have a Maximilian we know 2 other Max's and 1 Maximus but no other Maximilian's. It's a great name, especially when you're telling him off!

I would assume Maximilian. But the only Max I know is a Maxwell.

Not at all. I imagine most Maxes are just plain Max.

DS1 is known as Max. HIs BC name is Maxim.

My DS is Maximus but is known as Max by almost everyone.

Max. Having Maximilian as his full name could be a PIA for every form he has to fill in. I have a multi syllable first name which I rarely use. As does my SIL.
