I really love the name [name_u]Max[/name_u] but my partner thinks it’s ‘too modern.’ We have names we both like. When do I shelve it completely/do I? All our pets have names that start with ‘m’ - do I just accept I won’t ever have a son named [name_u]Max[/name_u] and name an animal of some sort [name_u]Max[/name_u] instead? Has anyone been in this situation?
Depends how many names you’ve looked at, really. If you haven’t looked at many names then I say shelf it and keep looking because you might find something else you love yet. What appeals about [name_u]Max[/name_u]? Maybe we can suggest some names with a similar feel?
Maybe he’d be happier with [name_u]Max[/name_u] as a nickname for [name_m]Maximus[/name_m], [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m], [name_m]Maxen[/name_m], [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m], etc?
