We love the name max, but are worried that it is going to become super popular due to celebrities christina aguleira and jennifer lopez. What do you think?
knights-rule

I personally dont think it is going to become uber popular because of the celebrity usage, i could be wrong though laughing2.gif

I say, if you love it, use it biggrin.gif

my dad and brother are maxwell but get shortened to max, my son has the middle name of maxwell i like it, i think its a nice strong bold name for a boy

It's a lovely strong name, but IMO it's too late to credit its popularity to a celeb... it's been a huge crowd favourite here for yeeeears. grin.gif

I beleive it's #26 on the top baby names. But i have seen alot around so i wouldn't. But if u love it go for it.

Max is cool. I always imagine Max's to be a little bit cheeky and living life to the fullest!!

I know hundreds of Max's - they're all dogs (literally). Unfortunately I always think of a labrador.

Sorry, but you did ask.
SeaKitten
Its NMS.

I love it , my 3rd son is Maxamus who gets called Max . Hes a cheeky little so and so and always the life of the party.

DD would have been Max if she was a boy.

We did consider it for DS, but after looking into it, it was very popular, and yep... seen loads of dogs called Max too...

I don't mind it but it's my Mum's dogs name so, to me, it's always going to be a dogs name blush.gif

Max is a great strong name!

~Nodnol~
I love Max. Its the only boys name DH and I agree on too!

I really like the name Max but our neighbour's dog is Max, so for me its ruined as in my mind it will now always be a dog's name sad.gif

As an alternative, how about Mack?

Max is a great name, and I wouldn't worry about the celeb factor either. We haven't seen that many Brooklyn, Shiloh, or Suri's ......yet. I think most people usually go for adult celebrity names - if they're into that sort of thing. As for dog names, well that wouldn't put me off at all. Just get a dog, call him Jack or Josh, take him to the park and call him on a loud voice. See all the little boys run!!! roll2.gif

I love it too! original.gif

Zac is another short but strong name that I like.

Good luck, if you like it, use it. My DD2 has 3 kids in her kindy class with the same name. It didn't seem that popular the year I had her, but I guess it was! Tounge1.gif
