Hello everyone, I am a trans man (female to male) changing my name and have been stuck between the same two for months. My last name is [name_m]German[/name_m], similar to [name_m]Berner[/name_m].
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m], [name_u]Max[/name_u] for short, which sounds great with my last name, and I love long names with short nicknames.
Or
[name_u]Shane[/name_u], which I like better on it’s own but doesn’t sound great with my last name and feels too short.
Which do y’all like better? Thanks for the help!
I like [name_m]Maximillian[/name_m] ‘[name_u]Max[/name_u]’ best 
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] “[name_u]Max[/name_u]” is my favourite!
Easy one - [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] ‘[name_u]Max[/name_u]’ is great.
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]! It’s very handsome and sounds the best with your surname.
Good luck with your name change, I know it can be tricky!
Definitely [name_u]Max[/name_u]!
