Ha ! My DS1 is Max - I LOVE it !!! However, one of my friends said it was a dogs name too !
My DS really suits it & I have never regretted it.

Imo, definitely in the dog?s name category. Along with Sam and Barney.

It could be a dogs name, but I like it anyway. It never held Max Clifford back..

Max is good. Patch is a dog's name, Max is not. Pefer Maxim though

I like Max - it always conjours up a cheeky little chap when I think about that name

My ds is a Max and I love it! it suits him but we obviously like dog names as we liked Toby as well!!

Lots of boys named after dogs then ...

blueshoes · 26/01/2009 20:46

happy, my post was directed at OP's friend, not you, just to be clear! Personally love Max.

Mum1369 · 26/01/2009 20:53

He never comes when I call him.

I like Max, but kerry Katona called her son Max so it was a no-no for me

Same reason for Calum being rejected: DH can't stand Calum Best!

I love Max. great name.

GossipMonger · 26/01/2009 22:58

i have a max and i love it............

LuLuBai · 27/01/2009 08:51

No - Max is a very good name for a boy. Have you got a copy of Where The Wild Things Are? You need one. Also Max de Winter in Rebecca. Suits all ages and social groups (although obviously it's a shame about Kerry Katona).

Rex is a dog's name (although it worked for Mr Harrison)

i have a Max - he's a cheeky monkey
