I have a Max and he adores his name.

I like Rex - also Lex.

Op is it the x in the name you like?
I knew a boy called maximillian, his parents shortened it to max but he preferred to be called billy

I just love Max, i have one and his brother is jealous. Anyway so maybe you have similar taste to me:

Guy
Luke
Milo
Linus
Conrad
Thomas

I really like Jack and Jake but too overused for my taste atm.

Why does your H dislike it? Would he prefer a longer name eg. Maxim with Max as a nn? I know quite a few Maxes and their brothers are Henry, Harry, Finn, Tom, Monty and Dash (Dashiell). What about Will, Leo, Zach or Fox for a strong, short name.

And i wish i had been brave enough for Maximilian, i love it.

Axel
Felix
Leo

I have a Max and it's a bloody awesome name op, you have great taste.

Thanks everyone, some great suggestions (though none that live up to the wonderful Max). The fact that all your little Max's love their names names me even more sad :(
I like your suggestions @BikeRunSki I Like Axel, Milo, Felix, all good names, and a few more mentioned.
In fact I really like Felix!!

@joan12 unfortunately I made the stupid mistake of telling him ages ago that a guy I slept with once was called Max (I forget this guy ever existed it was so insignificant and has in no way put me off the name but I can see why DH isn't keen :(

Also love Magnus and Dash!

Oh what a bummer over a long forgotten shag, oh well. Nearly the same thing happened to me with my other son's name, i remembered to keep my mouth shut and got away with it. Only my mum twigged and i just gave her a puzzled look and said, hmm no, you must be thinking of my sisters bf.

I also think whoever pushes out the rugby ball names the child 👶🏽

I have a Max and really love Felix. I’d have def used Felix if we hadn’t gone with Max, both awesome names
