But would not Max be more to live up to?
in reply to a message by Isla
Magnus means "great", Max(imilian) means "greatest". I think it is not about the meaning but about how common a name is. Max is common, therefore nobody talks about the meaning."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."

That definitely makes sense. I guess Magnus just 'bothers' me because it's so uncommon, while Max does not. Great point!~Heather~
