Maxfield?

[jfoyo26]

Husband and I have been discussing a 3rd baby!!!
Not sure if it will happen (only just had number 2), but discussing hypothetical boys names. He would love Edward (family name, lot of meaning to him) but I'm not sure as I pronounce it Ed- wood. Anyway would like to respect my hubby and at least have as a middle name. Thing is the other kids all have a middle name than relate to my side of the family and his last name. Was thinking we could use Maxfield as 1st name because it share the same meaning as my last name - have always loved Max.
Maxfield Edward
Thoughts?

Maxfield is GHASTLY.

If you like Max, then use Max - there's Maxmillan, Maximus, or even the Welsh name Macsen. Those are all real names.

Or use Edward, which is lovely.

Maxfield sounds like a new housing development. Max is ok and I like Edward.

I think Maxwell sounds nicer.

@pegaroo I have a strong Yorkshire dialect of which I am very proud so no need to work on elocution, if it sounds stupid I just wouldn't use it. How do you pronounce it?

Looks like Maxfield is out of the question but I assure you it's definitely a name, haha!

It sounds like a house name to me.

My husband's grandmother's maiden name is Maxfield and we're considering it for our son's first name. Personally, I love the name Edward as well and they go well together. If you're concerned about pronunciation, call him Ed, Eddy, Ted, there are a number of nicknames you can use to get around saying his full name. Good luck and I wish you well.

Really not keen on Maxfield- sounds like a middle England town used in a chic lit book

Edward is a perfectly lovely solid name , no matter how you pronounce it

Maxfield looks made up. A no from me.

Sounds like a property developer. Maxfield Homes.

How about Maxward? Pronounced Maxwood of course

Adore Edward, lovely name!
Not keen on Maxfield, sounds like a name of a house/building. If you wanted Max, I’d go Maximus. Although as I mentioned Edward has my vote. ☺️

I prefer Maxton. Maxfield sounds like a geographical area to me.

Someone above said Macsen. Never heard of that, but love it.

Macsen is Maximus in Welsh.
pronounced MAX-enn not Mackson.
