Boy/girl twins. What goes with....

Max.

We thought we had two girls. So had kind of matchy style names (Camille and Claudia) in the pipeline.

Neither of those is the girls' name I love, but I kind of didn't mind because there were two, so it wouldn't be like one had my favourite name over the other. I like both the names, but no more than like.

Now it's turned out they're definitely boy/girl. So the boy will be Max. And I can't think of anything I like other than the name I can't have, now it's only one girls name I need. (It's been what my daughter has always been called in my head for the last 20yrs, and literally a year ago, this bitch who's connected directly to our family stole it, and yes I am fucking bitter) Spam me with names that go with Max please. Help me find something I love...

I like the name Honor but I think together it sounds a bit like Max and Donna.

Saskia and Max, Claudia and Max both lovely.

But my favourite is Phillippa/ Pippa/ Pip. All beautiful and go with Max. Max and Pippa just sounds perfect as a pair to me.

Oh, I quite like Minnie. But maybe as a nickname. Apart from Minerva (too Harry Potter) what would you shorten to Minnie?

I’ve got a Max.
He’s 17 and loves his name.

He would have been Annabel if he had been a girl.

MrsBertBibby · 29/09/2019 22:06

How about Veronique?

I was going to suggest Marjolaine, but not with a Max.

MrsBertBibby · 29/09/2019 22:08

Or Emilienne. Very pretty.

AverageAvenger · 29/09/2019 23:07

Cosima with nn Mimi

(Nigella Lawson uses Mimi for her Cosima)

Tavannach · 29/09/2019 23:30

Of Honor's a name. Quite a posh one. Tilda Swinton's daughter is Honor. If you like it then go with it.

s3tut0y3r · 03/10/2019 21:34

Saskia is a great name.

Frankley · 03/10/2019 22:10

Fleur?

Courtney555 · 03/10/2019 22:51

Max and Claudia.
Max and Honor.
Max and Saskia (family all seem to like this one but I'm not keen on shortened to Sass)
Max and Angelina (Ange is awful, Anne and Anna doubly awful, Lina, yuck, what could it be shortened to that's sweet?)
