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.

@MotherOfHouseplants , the baby is 6 weeks old.

Wow, OK.

OP, I hope you have support in real-life for whatever is behind your indecision. In the meantime the first step is to take yourself off boards like this one. There will always, always be someone waiting to tell you gleefully that they hate your chosen name. I've seen some absolute corkers about my own DC's names over the years. Max Marshall is a fantastic name.

Thank you, yeah it’s really messed me up reading people’s harsh thoughts on all my names tbh :(. Thanks though, you’re right x

I love the name Max. Had an uncle called Max and thought it was a super-cool name. Have friends called Max. It's sophisticated and elegant, but also friendly like Sam. And it's unusual as far as I know.

Btw my friends recently took 6 weeks to name their baby 🤗

Absolutely do it 😊 I have an MM too 😊 and he’s a Max lol

Has anyone said it’s a superhero name? My other son thinks so and I’m stressed!
