Maxim - Yeah or Nay

[BorisTheBold]

DC3 is due in November and we're going with Astrid Nova for a girl but are stuck for a boys name.

So far we've got:

Ewan
Sebastian
Vincent (Vinny)
and my favourite Maxim.

Come on give me your thoughts (on the girls name too, in case I've missed summat). I can take it

[justallovertheplace]

Lads mag

[southeastastra]

what if he's a bit puny not that he will be

[littledawley]

Maxim is lovely! Would you mind it being shortened to Max?

[overmydeadbody]

your girl's name sounds like a car.

[Meglet]

Maxim, trying too hard. And I think one of The Prodigy is called Maxim, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but probably not a sensible name choice.

I love Sebastian.

[tiredlady]

makes me think of Maxim De Winter.
Great name

[Disenchanted3]

Isnt Maxim a titty mag?

[BorisTheBold]

That's what I though - Maxim De Winter. I could cope with Max, but would try to stick with Maxim (assuming I can get dp to agree!).

If it's a boy then it's unlikely to be puny as DP is 6'4' and I'm pretty tall too. I love Prodigy - saw them at T in the Park many moons ago.

Girls name will be Astrid - Nova is the middle name, although I was toying with using it as a first name.

Thanks for the thoughts so far...!

I like Maxim, and love Astrid Nova. Makes me think of stars.

I think of Maxim Gorky and Maxim Kalashnikov, even though neither of them were really Maxims.

[recireci]

I like Ewan and Sebastian.

Astrid sounds like Astra, which along with Nova are both Vauxhalls.

[Magaly]

no. I like Victor. (rather than Vinnie).

victor has that 'maxim' vibe though.

Maxim is a like a standard or a norm isn't it? must google it! but I am understanding it as a word.

[Magaly]

ok, it means an "established principle"

[5DollarShake]

I have a friend with the middle name Vincent and he hates it.

I like Ewan personally.

Maxim = poor man's rag mag.

[AbsOfCroissant]

I like it, fwiw

[WickedWitchSouthWest]

Maxim is a lads mag; however my dd goes to preschool with a Maxime (his mother is French) which I think is loads better.

[Clary]

Maxim (de Winter) will be shortened to Max. I know (counts quickly) six Maxes aged 5-7 yrs if that matters to you.

It's just that your other names are much more unusual. I know one Sebastian (always Seb), one Ewan (Ewan and whose army?) and no Vincents at all. Or Astrids. Tho I shared a house with one once and she was soooo beautiful (Danish).

My fave of yrs FWIW is Sebastian actually. HTH.

[diddl]

I like it-and Sebastian.

[hattee]

Not keen on Maxim, love Sebastian though

[MmeLindt]

Not keen on Maxim, sorry. Perhaps I have Max-fatigue after living too long in Germany though, lots of Maximillians/Maxims there.

I have to agree that Astrid Nova reminds me of Vauxhall cars.

I like Sebastian and Ewan (but prefer Euan spelling)

What are your DC's names? (if you want to post them)

[GibbonInARibbon]

Maxim - poor quality tits and arse mag.

[kailie]

really like the names astrid and nova - just unsure of them together (vauxhall cars and all that)

Like all the boys names - - I love the name Max but can't use it due to surname!For an inexplicable reason given how much I like Max - I don't like Maxim! Sorry!

[BessieBoots]

Maxim? Maxim?
Boob mag.

Love Astrid, I think the Nova with it is trying too hard.

[BorisTheBold]

Thanks all for comments. Dp has (I think) vetoed Maxim.

DD1 is Stella and DD2 Lois (just outed myself in RL I think lol). Both girls have a star link (dd2 has Seren as mn) which is why I wanted Nova as mn. Sounds like most folk aren't keen though.
