I prefer [name_m]Max[/name_m] to [name_m]Cash[/name_m] / Cassius* [name_f][/name_f]- but I can’t quite get on board with [name_m]Maximus[/name_m] especially upon the release of Gladiator 2 [name_f][/name_f]- depends if you’re happy for it to be associated with a pop culture hero, and ready for him to get some meme jokes.
[name_f][/name_f]I love [name_m]Max[/name_m] on its own. Otherwise [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m], Macsen/ [name_m]Maxen[/name_m] (the Welsh of Maximus), or even (and I prefer this), [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] nn [name_m]Max[/name_m]. Another reason for a [name_m]Max[/name_m] name is that a [name_m]Cass[/name_m] name is similar to Cress (Cressida). I also like different starting letters where possible.
[name_f][/name_f]*Re [name_m]Cassius[/name_m], there’s also [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] (which might feel more grounded and avoids [name_m]Cassius[/name_m] [name_m]Clay[/name_m] reference [name_f][/name_f]- thought this isn’t a big deal) or [name_m]Cashel[/name_m].
