Despite anything Andrew might have to say about Max Boot – I just have to add that the man has probably the coolest name around. It sounds like a movie. Like “Das Boot” mixed with “Mad Max.” I’d be a hawk too if I had a name like that.

There have been considerable lobbying efforts to name my first born Max Payne, either Maximus or Maxine depending on the sex. You, sir, have just placed another arrow in my oppositional quiver and for that, I thank you.Report
I think you should name him Major. Use Max as his middle name.
(By the way, your wife will simply never let you. Never ever. Give it up…)Report
Oh no, my wife wants to name the child Max. It’s me who is opposed.Report
You can’t fool me.Report
Oh wait – you did say “oppositional quiver” didn’t you.
Who the hell did you marry, Scott? 😉Report
Obviously a good one.
“Maximillian” is another good name, for the record.Report
Brandy and she intro’s herself by saying, “Hi I’m Brandy, like the drink or a stripper…” That’s my girl… At one point there was a Facebook group devoted to lobbying to name my first born The Uplift Mofo Party Plan Payne. Naming my children is, apparently, a hotly contended issue. Why is a another story altogether.Report
Scott,
You certainly can’t name later kids Max, lest they think you just got lazy.Report
Have his middle name start with an “H”.
Harold, perhaps. Hershel. Herbert. Horton. (Hussein!!!)
The important part is that when the child is asked “What does the ‘H’ stand for?”, he or she can stand up and punch the other person in the nose. When the (now bleeding) person looks up from the ground, your child can answer “It stands for ‘Hardcore’.”Report
