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

@cloudbyday90 If you think Maximus is a bit much, Maxim is great. I've known a few people called Maxim and it seems very natural in an English-speaking country (no pronunciation issues etc). So, if that's your concern, I wouldn't worry about it!

 

[cloudbyday90]

@sam7 Good to know, thank you!

@cloudbyday90 Maxim is a type of sexy mag…don’t name him this lol

 

[cloudbyday90]

@williamtaylor I know I saw that when I googled “ Maxim “lol. How popular is that magazine? Many people know about it? Never heard of it till now

 

[williamtaylor]

@cloudbyday90 It’s very popular lol…a sexy mag w half naked women on/in it for men. I wouldn’t do it

 

[spinny]

@williamtaylor It’s a very common name in russia and eastern europe. It’s like having a sexy magazine named “Mike” in the US ahaah

 

[williamtaylor]

@spinny Right and if they live in Russia, or Eastern Europe, then go for it, great! If in the US, it’s still the name of a sexy mag

@cloudbyday90 I love the name Max. Any version!

 

[cloudbyday90]

@paige1462 Right! The name I always draw towards when looking at baby names!

 

[williamtaylor]

@cloudbyday90 I think Maximilian is as extra as Maximus. So like, if you like Maximus, go for it. He’ll go by Max and have a cool longer name to use or go by when he ages if he so chooses! Also, dog names are so irrelevant. A pet can be named ANYTHING. As an EMMA, I’ve met multiple people who’ve responded to me introducing myself with, “OH! My dog is named Emma” lol so disregard that worry I’d advise!

 

[cloudbyday90]

@williamtaylor Good point, you are so right for this. Thank you!!!

@cloudbyday90 What about Maxwell?

 

[guidinglight]

@cloudbyday90 I have a nephew named Maxwell and he has been doing just fine! No dog associations or bullying

@cloudbyday90 I actually worked for a company for Medicaid/Medicare that is called Maximus lol I personally don’t think it’s a good name, but if you like it go for it.

@cloudbyday90 Go for it. We have a Max! He’s just Max.
