Am I setting him up to be teased?

We have an unusual surname, we’re expexting a child, gender unknown. One of my favourite boys names is Maxwell, to be known as Max. My worry is that coupled with our surname, it potentially sounds like a name that he could be teased over, potentially has sexual references? Am I overthinking it and being ridiculous or should I avoid any risk of teasing? The name would be Max Tingle.

Perhaps Magnus?
