Middle name for Maximilian

Hi all! We are due with our second son in about 2 weeks. We are set on the first name, but still waffling between two middle names. I would love to hear any thoughts you have on our choices, which you prefer, etc. Big brother is Theodore Augustus. Thanks!

Maximilian Aurelius
Maximilian Benedict

I love [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]. They are both very strong boy names with historical/royal associations. Plus [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m] matches [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] with the ending and Latin origin.

[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m] is fantastic, as is [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Augustus[/name_m]!

[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] [name_m]Benedict[/name_m]!

I vote for [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]

[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m] is my favourite :blue_heart:

Firstly [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] is a lovely name very stately and strong such a sophisticated choice. I love the nickname [name_u]Max[/name_u] and I think he’s a perfect brother name for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite middle name is definitely [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]! Such a gorgeous striking name that I think sounds perfect with [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]. I also love how [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m] translates as ‘greatest golden one’ I think it’s a lovely sentiment behind your child being this great golden boy. I love that meaning. I also love how both boys will have an ‘a’ name ending in ‘us’ it’s a nice way to connect them.

Good luck & congrats!
