I am considering using Max since it sounds better with our last name than any of the longer versions. Maxwell is my favorite from the other names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-weve-settled-on-a-name-but#post-2653903 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 18:14:06 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2653903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Max is a great name all by itself. I like Maxwell too though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-weve-settled-on-a-name-but#post-2653849 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 17:05:35 +0000 Purpledaisy 2653849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, my son has a "nickname" as his name so my opinion might be biased, but I think that Max is fine on its own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-weve-settled-on-a-name-but#post-2653818 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 16:37:36 +0000 Boogs 2653818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If Max is what you both love and you would only use that anyway, I would just call him Max! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-weve-settled-on-a-name-but#post-2653804 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 15:48:57 +0000 Anya 2653804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Maddox. You could even do malcolm. Are there any M names you love? If you did a middle name that ends in X like Alex or Felix, then Max could be a cool portmanteau nickname. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-weve-settled-on-a-name-but#post-2653798 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 15:44:22 +0000 mamainthesun 2653798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the name Max!<br /> Also a possibility as a proper name is Maxandre ( like Alexandre) it's not unusual in France. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-weve-settled-on-a-name-but#post-2653795 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 15:41:36 +0000 erinbaderin 2653795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Max or Maxwell. Maddox is a bit Brangelina now but when he's in school I'm sure it won't be so I wouldn't worry about that, it's not like people will tease him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-weve-settled-on-a-name-but#post-2653793 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 15:38:47 +0000 lilteacherbee 2653793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Maxwell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-weve-settled-on-a-name-but#post-2653792 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 15:38:36 +0000 ShootingStar 2653792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Maxwell and Maddox a lot. I didn't think of Brangelina until you mentioned it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-weve-settled-on-a-name-but#post-2653790 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 15:34:32 +0000 lilyann 2653790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally love the name Maxwell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-weve-settled-on-a-name-but#post-2653788 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 15:33:23 +0000 catgirl 2653788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Max as a name on it's own and am typically a big believer in naming a child what you intend to call them. </p> <p>Of all the full names I do prefer Maxwell, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-weve-settled-on-a-name-but#post-2653772 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 15:05:49 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2653772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we really like the name Max and DS is calling baby that (he had been calling him Purple, so this is definitely an improvement). My dilemma is that I don't typically love short names so I'm inclined to go with a "proper" name like Maxwell, which I'm not a huge fan of but prefer to Maximilian, Maxim or Maximus. I liked Maddox (nn Max) but DH thought it was too Brangelina. Any suggestions/thoughts on Max v. Maxwell or other potential names? </p>
