PLEASE Help me choose between Maxwell and Emmett!

[name_f]Baby[/name_f] boy #2 is due in a few months and I’m so torn between these two names!

[name_m]Emmett[/name_m]: I love that this one seems a bit more rare and fresh, and it’s got a combo of soft and strong sounds that I love. I actually like [name_m]Everett[/name_m] even more, but it was vetoed by my husband so it’s off the table.

[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]: I love how classic this feels, with the fun [name_m]Max[/name_m] nickname. [name_f]My[/name_f] only reservations is that it feels a bit too known/popular (however when I searched it up I was pleasantly surprised to learn it wasn’t in the top 100!) it’s also a bit rhymey with the last name, which ends in an “ack” sound, but at the same time has a cool ring to it. Think [name_m]Max[/name_m] AroundTheTrack.

Which name do you prefer? Big brother is [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] and I’m in love with his name, no other name feels like “THE ONE” as much as [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] did!!!

Both are very handsome but I LOVE [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] especially with [name_m]Calvin[/name_m]!

With bro’s name, I personally like Maxwell more as it fits the classic vibe of Calvin while also still being its own name. I would also honestly assume upon hearing that Emmett is more popular than Maxwell so… these two factors plus the nickname option make Maxwell the option IMO.

Both are great! I prefer [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] personally, but with [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] I think [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] fits so perfectly. :white_heart: What a handsome brother set!

I love [name_m]Emmett[/name_m], it’s super vintage yet still fresh! [name_m]Just[/name_m] like big brother [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] :blush: [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] is a solid name but I would factor in other max related names that make [name_m]Max[/name_m] feel even more popular.

I like the name [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] more than [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] (I know five Maxs’ and I’m under 20!! It’s very common where I live.) [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] is so modern and I love how the sounds flow together.

This being said, [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] and [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] have the same classic vibe. These two names would probably fit better together.

I definitely prefer [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] – fresher and sounds so lovely with [name_m]Calvin[/name_m]!

[name_m]Calvin[/name_m] and [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]

You can’t go wrong! [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] is my personal favourite - gentle and cool!

So hard to pick :white_heart: I love your son’s name and honestly both of these names go so well with their big brother … but I do think that [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] is a bit more popular with all the [name_m]Max[/name_m] variants around so I pick [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] - as he feels a lot fresher :sparkles:

[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] for sure! It feels so charming with [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] - on-trend, but with a fun vintage charm. [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] is more popular than [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] if you’re based in the US or [name_f]Canada[/name_f]. I also just love the cool & international charm of the nickname [name_m]Max[/name_m], especially with your last name! [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] is handsome but it feels a bit less timeless to me, and it does instantly remind me of emetophobia, which I feel like is gradually becoming more and more of a recognizable word.

personally don’t like [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m], but of the two options I think he goes better with [name_m]Calvin[/name_m].

But I love [name_m]Emmett[/name_m]

Initially I chose [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] - beautiful name plus it’s similar to [name_m]Everett[/name_m], which you mentioned you liked.

However, with [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] I do like [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] better.

I would say go with whichever you like best!

Good luck choosing!

Emmett is my choice. I like that it is a male version of Emma but not so popular.

Maxwell! Such a cute name with a cute nickname if desired by him or you :slight_smile: It sounds sophisticated, yet down-to-earth. Calvin & Max are adorable together… and Cal + Max?? :heart_eyes:

Maxwell!!! :slight_smile:

[name_m]Calvin[/name_m] and [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]!

I think [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] is better! [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] is nice but I agree that despite it not being in the top 100 it doesn’t feel as fresh. [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] and [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] are more cohesive!

[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]! I know it’s popular but tbh I’ve never met a max/Maxwell. And I think it goes so well with [name_m]Calvin[/name_m]!
