I would pronounce it like [name_u]Max[/name_u]-imm.

Have you though about pairing it with a name from your list? I think [name_m]Maxim[/name_m] [name_u]Orion[/name_u], [name_m]Maxim[/name_m] [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] and [name_m]Maxim[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] are very handsome.

I pronounce it [name_u]Max[/name_u]-imm.

Suggestions:
[name_m]Maxim[/name_m] [name_m]Lemuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxim[/name_m] [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxim[/name_m] [name_m]Cheever[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxim[/name_m] [name_m]Edison[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxim[/name_m] [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]

I live in [name_f]Canada[/name_f], [name_m]Maxim[/name_m] is pronounced like “maximum” and [name_u]Maxime[/name_u] (typically a name for boys in [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_f]Canada[/name_f]) is pronounced as “mak-seem”

I’m in Australia and at first glance I’d say [name_u]Max[/name_u]-IMM, but prefer [name_m]Mac[/name_m]-SEEM. However all I can really think about when I see the name is the men’s magazine (Darn Ex-BF), which is unfortunate because I like the name.

I think [name_m]Maxim[/name_m] [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] is a great combo.

I’m from Australia and I pronounce it max-imm. I’m really not a fan of this name- it just sounds like that dirty men’s magazine to me.

I’m from [name_m]Boston[/name_m], MA and pronounce the name Mak-SEEM. However, I studied Russian language for a while so was exposed to the name in that capacity which may make me say it differently than the rest of the area. I love the name though. Very classic in several cultures!

I pronounce it as [name_u]Max[/name_u]-imm, and am from the western US.
