George or Maxwell my DILEMMA !!

[ciberland]

I´m having a boy and my DH wants to keep the familly name tradition going unfortunately i´m not keen,I don´t mind Max but hate Maxwell(sorry all Maxwell´s)
any suggestions as to how i can compromise on Maxwell at the moment George is miles ahead !

I hate Maxwell too so I vote for George! (Max is fine, too, but not Maxwell. Especially if your surname is House.)

How about gemax or Wellge

Couldn't Max be a middle name? George Maxwell sounds ok.

Lazarox no thanks and dont bother with Air Max either .

I like George , not that sure about Maxwell, but do like Maximillian

Problem is Just HATE Maxwell, i was hoping someone may know the Foreign version of Maxwell,if there is one !

I prefer George

Maxime is a foreign version of Max.

Maximillian,
I dread top think what they would do to that in the playground.

Yes, that was terribly childish of me, ciberlanx.....

We're considering Maximilian instead.

although a very cool Maxwell

IME nobody remembers middle names anyway - we spent ages trying to find the perfect first and middle name for our DS and since then, apart from registering the birth, nobody has ever mentioned his middle name. I really like it and makes me wish I'd used something else so we could have saved it as a first name for our next DS (if we have one!). So Maxwell as a middle name might not be so bad!

Maxime sounds girly i like it though ,does anyone know a Maxime ?

Maximilian

Note 1 L

also Holy Roman Emporer, natch

yea, I know a Maxime, male, in Belgium, and yes, it sound a bit girly doesn't it?

Maximus. Is that a good name?

Emperor

if you like max but not maxwell, can't you just go for max?

hm...would Maximilian made fun off?

Maxim
Maximo
Maximos
Maximus
Maxton

or maybe Massimo

George

Keep em coming.
DH says not MAX ,
3andnomore are these made up names?

Like MAXIM anyone know of a boy called that or is it made up ?

no...they greek and latin and stuff...got them from babyname.com....

Maxim is the russian version and means Greatest...apparently...however, I know a few Maximes (females)...so...not sure if people would rip the mich and all that....

I think the boy I know is Maxim, not Maxine (sorry)

There is also the Welsh name Macsen which can be shortened to Max.
