Max alliteration

I’m going in circles and returning here over and over again. I also sort of asked this a couple of months ago - sorry, didn’t quite get clarity.

Max Marshall - yes or no?

Feel free to give one word answers - I realise the alliteration is either loved or hated! I’m going to tot up the votes because I just cannot decide.

No, I find the Ma Ma too much. It does sound a little like a superhero imo.

Elliott Marshall sounds great!

Yes, it sounds good. I wouldn’t worry about superhero vibes because when he’s a little older he will love this.

I think it sounds great, like an actor name, but not too much. The two Ma syllables don’t make the same sound at all so it’s fine!

Thanks :). Max is by far my fave name really but this was what was stopping me going for it

Well in that case I think Max is your winning name- both are lovely names and you really can't go wrong with either of them! Both sound great- honestly!! Grin Do it and don't look back!

Thanks! I’m just overly worrying about the Max Marshall, Lex Luther superhero vibes! 😂

Max Marshall is great. It’s a different sound for the first syllable of Marshall, and M is not usually a sound that people have difficulty saying (like r for example).

I like it. alliteration doesn't always work. Like with the letter F. fiona fowler eg, no.

Gwyneth Paltrow's son is Moses Martin and I think that sounds bad (i'm sure she's not reading) but Max Marshall sounds good. Sounds like Bruce Banner or Bill Bixby.
