[Opinions] Re: Max
in reply to a message by Lily
I prefer Max as a nn for Maxine or Maxwell, etc depending on the gender but it works as a full name for a boy. It makes me think of Mad Max. Max is the most common name for a dog or at least it use to be a few years ago but I do feel it still works as a name for a human. The name isn't that common for human males in the US, it's barely in the top 100.
Personally I'm not super in love with the male Max names but I do like Maxwell, Maximilian, Maximus, etc. I just prefer the female name Maxine with the nn Max.
Someone once thought my partners brother Max was a girl. She was an old woman, so maybe her eye sight wasn't very good. Max had long hair at the time but his face wasn't feminine looking and he was looking straight at her right in front of her, that's why I suspect she couldn't see well.
