Maxim

[Cortina]

What do you think of this?

Would be called Maximillian (sp)?

But known as Maxim.

I know one - he was named Maxim but universally known as Max. Fine imo

There was a really sexy French boy on our school exchange programme called Maxim, so it's a big thumbs up from me!!!

Stick at Maxim though, Maximillian is just ridiculous - even you aren't sure how to spell it!

It's a shortening though. Thinking of Max/Maxim de Winter. (He was Maximillian).

Maximillian is better than Maxwell IMO. Anyone read Adrian Mole (Maxwell House)!

Maxim as in magazine??

Don't like it but like Max.

Maxim Gorky was just Maxim.

It's OK.... kind of..... all I can think of is the men's magazine of the same name full of nakey ladies and enormous breasts

that would put me off, a bit like calling your baby 'nuts'....

the name on its own is quite nice though, but if you want Maxim as the name I would recommend just using that on the birth certificate, or he will be called Maximillian or Max and never Maxim...

I have a Maximilian (on birth certificate) but he is known as Max so I think it is a great idea!

ALways think of Laurence Olivier as Maxim in the film 'Rebecca'. Love that film, so that's no bad thing.
Quite nice; might get Max or Maxi though, if you're happy with those.

How popular is Max at the moment?

/maxim lovely

soo Rebecca

I have a friend with a Maximilian known as Maxim. Wouldn't be my choice, but it's ok. The important thing is that you and your dh like it.

I have a friend with a son called Macsen. Similar sound maybe? I think its lovely.

Tbh Maxim is a beautiful name, however to use it you'd have to be so blisteringly aristocratic that you wouldn't know one arse-end of a modem from another - therefore "I'm oot"!

What skihorse said.

I like Max a lot though, it's a strong manly sounding name

My ds is Maxim. Love it. We call him Max most of the time though.

Love Max, not keen on Maxim, sorry. Does make me think of Maxim lads mag.

Prefer Maxwell, which I like a lot.

i like it. Very much. Another one for DP so say no to...

Is brilliant - the misunderstood hero from Rebecca

what about Maxence?

Maximillian and Max are both great.

Don't like Maxim, though.
