Is it too much? Would you stick with just Max?

Lazy I have a longer name and have spent my life spelling it to people, telling them how it is pronounced and deterring them from shortening it.

Doesn't matter what name you have, you want what you haven't got.

True....

I love Magnus too. Maximilian or Maximus are fine. Love the name Max because of Where The Wild Things Are and insisted on it for DGS.

You insisted on your grandson's name?! His parents didn't get a say then?!!! Shock Hmm

I prefer Maximilan shorted to Max, although any variation makes me think of Maxi Pads...but after 2 DC maybe that's just me Blush

Maximus is a very unfortunate gladiator. Call the kid Max

What if he grows up to be very fat?

How about Megatron?

Love the name, and it is my DS2 middle name, suits him perfectly.

I just see Maximus as a joke name. Maxwell as a full name, Max as a nickname.

I was thinking through the Maximus, maxim, max debate in my head and decided, being in Wales that the Welsh version Maksen resolved the Problem!

Maxim sounds like a size of sanitary towel.
