I know a kid that's just called Max, and I always have the urge to call him Maximilian. His brother is called Jude - or Judy, or Judas (or Rosemary) when I'm around! ;-)

---

With Max, I'd put something long, like Max Sebastian.

---

For every five people that like something, there are three that don't, and think that makes them better.

I think Max needs to be a nickname. Maximillian, Maximus and Maxwell are my favorites. In my honest opinion, I think these "Max" names should be middle names. Maybe you could use Maxwell as a middle name if you don't like it as a first name, although I like it.
Examples...
Alexander Maximillian
Maximillian O'Brien
Maximus Jordan
Antonio Maximus
Cassidy Maxwell
Maxwell Lucas

Like a lot of people, I think Max needs a full name, but don't actually *like* any of the full forms. Maxwell is surname-y and pretentious to me. Maximilian is even more pretentious, and poncy to boot. It screams "I'm upper-class" (like Sebastian etc.) and seems very wannabe to me.

---

The one thing I've come across that's decent is Maxen, a Welsh diminutive. I probably wouldn't use the nn Max for that actually, as I like Maxen in full. Anyhow, it's ojne to think about :-)

---

Good luck!

Hopefully these help

I don't care for any Max- names. But, I think Max is too nickname-y and immature sounding to be a formal name - it wouldn't suit every age. But, I don't care for Maxwell.
