Help[Opinions] Re: Shane vs Max
in reply to a message by Reese
Maximilian is just too droll. I like it on paper. But then I heard a guy at the mail store giving his name to the clerk and it was Maximilian and, I'm sorry, I was close to laughter. I think it just sounds too much like "maxi-million." Who would ever use the full name instead of Max? I mean, if you're just an ordinary guy. If you feel like a Maximilian then be that, I guess, but IMO it sounds overbaked.
I like Max by itself. Though it does seem a little bit on-trend, while Shane seems more adult now. So Max seems more likely to be self-chosen than Shane does.
I like Shane about the same as Max. Unless your surname begins with N. So I'm on the fence.
Max sounds more dark-eyed and easygoing, and Shane more tall and artsy, to me.
I'd rather name a baby Max, but if I woke up one morning and discovered I was a guy, I'd rather call myself Shane.
