If I name my son Maximus (Max) will I regret it?

[cloudbyday90]

I really love this name, but I feel like it’s a common dog name and might be a little extra. What are your thoughts?

@cloudbyday90 Ignore the dog comments. I named my kid Milo and found out after it's a popular cat or dog name. Doesn't matter. The kid makes the name. People name animals all kinds of shit. My mom's dog and my human neighbor share the same name "Buck". I've met dogs named Charlie and Luke and Bruno and Aaron.

@savedbygrace77 I love Milo!!

 

[savedbygrace77]

@cloudbyday90 Thanks. Max is rad. Have you thought about other variations of Max? I like Maxim and Maxfield.

 

[cloudbyday90]

@savedbygrace77 Thank you! I do love Maxim/Maksim a lot! Me and my husband are Russian and Maksim is a Russian name so that would be perfect. Husband keeps saying Maxim/Maksim will be hard for people to pronounce, that’s why he like Maximus. I still have time to convince him maybe so hopefully we end up with Maxim or Maksim!

 

[savedbygrace77]

@cloudbyday90 I don't think it'll be hard to pronounce at all best of luck

 

[cloudbyday90]

@savedbygrace77 Thanks so much!

@cloudbyday90 I love Maksim! And it's meaningful to carry your culture in your name, I'd definitely vote for Maksim!!

 

[cloudbyday90]

@jordan01 I’m 100% with you! I really hope I can convince my husband!! Obsessed with Maksim

@savedbygrace77 This is the name I’m thinking of using if I have another kiddo that’s a boy. I already have a Finn and I think Finn and Milo sound like a great brother duo. I am also just going to ignore animal names. It was a human name first before it was used for an animal. After my son Finn was born I found out that my Husband’s cousin’s dog is named Finn, I’m like whatever. My friend also had a fish named Finn but I’d love the name for years so I just used it. People name their pets human names especially more recently. My cousin’s cat is Steve and my dad’s dog is Charlie for example. My friend that also has a son named Fynn named her next son Max that was born last year. I say go for it! I think Max and Milo are both great names for animals or humans doesn’t matter.

@fid3ll3 My friend has a dog named Finn it's not our fault. They are people names.

 

[fid3ll3]

@savedbygrace77 Exactly! They were human names before people started using them for pets, obviously they are really great names or they wouldn’t want to use them!

@cloudbyday90 Do it.

@cloudbyday90 Maxwell might be more mainstream

 

[cloudbyday90]

@tpop That is pretty too!

 

[jelizabeth914]

@cloudbyday90 Could choose Maximilian or Maxwell?
As soon as kids learn about gluteus maximus I feel they’d not let that go!

 

[cloudbyday90]

@jelizabeth914 You are right. That might be an issue. Thank you for bringing that up!

 

[jelizabeth914]

@cloudbyday90 Just read the other comments. Maxim is also a great option! Love it.

 

[cloudbyday90]

@jelizabeth914 I think so too! Hopefully that’s what we will go with

@cloudbyday90 Oh hell. I LOVE Massimo. I wouldn't hesitate. Own it!
