Max

Tell me what comes to mind!
Thanks.

we've got a Max...(full name Maximillian is never used). Always wanted to call my first boy Max since i was read "Where the Wild Things Are" as a child. Also call him Maxu and Maxi. Lovely, dynamic name.

I know a Max who genuinely likes the fact that his name is on so many things... eg hoover, kettle, water filter...

I have a Maximilian - always called Max. He is terribly charming, funny, naughty, cheeky, loving. The name suits - Max by name, Max by nature

It's a bit "safe", like an Isabella.

Ds2(1.5) is Max. Just 'Max'.
Isn't it number 30 or so in the names list. so not 'that' common.
Mad Max ?
Ds1 has renamed him Maxi Taxi.
Can't be shortened. prob can. all kids do, but ...
never thought of it as the 'safe' option.

I prefer Maximus to Maximillian.
what other longer versions of Max are there ?

I have a Max. We are not terribly middle class just normal . He is the only one in his school so perhaps it is too middle class for where we live. No one forgets his name - could be the name or the child though. I love it, though took a while to grow on me but the alternative, Finlay, just wouldn't have been right

I have a Maximus. 'Tis a cool name imho. He's always called Max.

i like Max, but for short name I prefer Leo.

on hearing 'Max', i think of Maximillian - the baddie in a movie.

That's because I don't quite dare Maximillian!!

dare use..

I love the name Max, and like it just as it is. I'm not keen on any of the longer versions.

I always thought it was only short for Maximillian, but then worked with a Maxim, known as Max. It's ok, but from experience with my own name, I prefer to christen the child with the name it will use on a daily basis.

I can't bear it when people use my whole name - makes me feel like I'm in trouble!

love it :D
