Re: nickname or full name?
in reply to a message by kudriashkajo
The ones I think are substantial enough on their own are Rex and maybe Max.
All the others are just nicknames to me. The problem with Max for me is that I like it as a nickname, but I don't love any of the actual names it's used for. They're all either too over the top (Maximilian, Maximus) or too stuffy (Maxwell) or often mispronounced in English (Maksim).
