Hey everyone! I’m looking for some opinions or ideas for our second boy, due in a month. Our first son is [name_m]Maximus[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and we like that it’s different, strong and masculine and that it has a short form, [name_u]Max[/name_u]. We have already decided on the middle name [name_m]Edward[/name_m]. My first choice would be [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] with the short form [name_m]Xander[/name_m] because my husband doesn’t like the name [name_u]Alex[/name_u]. I also like [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m], [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], [name_m]Odin[/name_m], [name_m]Silas[/name_m], and [name_u]Everett[/name_u]. My husband’s first choice is [name_m]Ryker[/name_m]. I’m not sure if it’s too different from [name_m]Maximus[/name_m] or too trendy but I don’t hate it. He also likes [name_m]Knox[/name_m], [name_u]Orion[/name_u], [name_u]Blaze[/name_u], [name_m]Pheonix[/name_m], Hawke, and [name_m]Maverick[/name_m]. As you can see, we have different tastes. I just want something that matches the big name/meaning of [name_m]Maximus[/name_m] but not be too out there. Please give me your opinions or other suggestions. Thanks!!
I would go with a name more like:
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]-[name_u]Toby[/name_u],
[name_m]Matthias[/name_m]-[name_m]Matt[/name_m],
[name_m]Quintus[/name_m]-[name_u]Quin[/name_u],
[name_m]Artemas[/name_m]-[name_m]Art[/name_m]/[name_m]Artie[/name_m],
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]-[name_u]Gus[/name_u]/[name_m]Augie[/name_m]/[name_u]August[/name_u],
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m]-Phin/[name_u]Finn[/name_u],
[name_m]Leonardo[/name_m]-[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
if I was already committed to [name_m]Maximus[/name_m], I would just go for another name that feels like it. those names have the same feel to me.
Out of the names on your list I like [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] ([name_m]Xander[/name_m]) and [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] I think those two looks and sounds best with [name_m]Maximus[/name_m]. [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m] or [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m] also works great.
