I love the name Rory.

What about:

Reuben
Louis
Casper
George
Eric

(Mix of name styles)

Didyeeaye · 02/01/2019 21:26

I like Henry best. It goes really well with Max and is a lovely strong name.

comebacksoonsusan · 02/01/2019 21:26

Sam.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/01/2019 21:28

Sam goes well with Max

Champy87 · 02/01/2019 21:34

I think they are all lovely strong boys names but I find Henry regal and Sam, biblical. However I think of Max as being quite current so I would say Rory or Finn go best.

I actually love Eric.

My DH is a fan of more out there names Wyatt and Axel for example - but I just don't think they particularly go with Max.

Also really like Logan.

I love all of the names you have suggested! Sorry not really helping but I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

Max and George
Max and Erick
Max and Frank
Max and Art
Max and Wilf
Max and Ira

DramaAlpaca · 02/01/2019 21:46

I think any from the list in your first post go really well with Max.

Especially Rory, another lovely strong name meaning 'red king'. It's my favourite of the bunch.

I also really like Logan. Eric wouldn't be a favourite of mine but it's good with Max.

Emelene · 02/01/2019 21:47

I agree with PP. All really great strong choices. Personally I like Max and Henry. Smile

AndItStillSaidFourOfTwo · 02/01/2019 21:47

Rory goes best IMO.

Champy87 · 02/01/2019 22:16

Just a heads up, Prince Eric in Disney’s little mermaid had a dog called Max. I really like both names but it’s the first thing I thought of with those two names together but maybe that’s just me.

Astronica · 02/01/2019 22:26

All good names on your first list and they all sound like a brother of Max, so good choices there! I'm not keen on Eric or Logan though. My favourite is Rory.

other ideas:

Lex
Wilf
Rafe
Jago
Alec
Nate
Ted
Leo
Lorcan
Jasper

Axel is fabulous

From your list I love Rory
Henry is nice too.

Icklepup · 04/01/2019 11:46

Max and Henry

Belindabauer · 05/01/2019 15:54

I like Samuel best.

Belindabauer · 05/01/2019 15:55

Wyatt is awful. Axel is a made up name.

Thetigerwhocameto · 06/01/2019 02:38

Love both Rory and Finn 😍

kenandbarbie · 06/01/2019 03:15

Is he max itself or max short for something?

kenandbarbie · 06/01/2019 03:16

I think Finn or Sam are nicest especially with max as one syllable
