So I'm new here. We found out that we've supposedly got a boy on the way. Our last name is Maynard. He's Blackfoot American Indian, and I know his dad is proud of that, so I wanted something more 'Indian' sounding. I can't really find any Blackfoot names. But as far as non-Indian names, my husband likes:

Christian James Maynard
Tristan James Maynard
Maxwell Robert Maynard
James Robert Maynard Jr.

We've been calling him Max now, but I'm not 100% I like it. Max Maynard is a strong sounding name, like a CEO type, a take charge kinda guy.

i'm partial to your first 2 names...my name is Christian (yes I am female with a male name LOL) and my son is Tristan :)

I'm not so into Maxwell either. But a couple of other names I think are good suggestions are

Christian James Maynard
Tristan James Maynard

or...?

Joshua Tristan Maynard
Joshua Ryan Maynard
Christian Ryan Maynard

Tristan James Maynard
Maxwell Robert Maynard
James Robert Maynard Jr.

All of those names are really good, but I definitely wouldn't call him Christian, if for no other reason than the fact that he could grow up to be an athiest and the irony would be too great.
And I especially love Maxwell, although to be honest it reminds me of Get Smart.

I like Tristan James or Joshua Tristan.

All your names are lovely; I love the name Max, and James is beautiful.

this site (www.behindthename.com) allows you to search for names by meaning. Maybe it could help you a bit?

Are you by any chance a TOOL or Perfect Circle fan? The lead singer is Maynard James Keenan. I love both bands and the name sounded backwards to me :)

Haha... my husband's name is James Maynard... he is so tired of hearing that comparison. He HATES Tool but I love Perfect Circle...

My name's Carey so usually we get "huhuhuhuh... Jim Carey". :|

I *love* Tristan, it's top on my list for boys :) I dunno about Max Maynard..kinda sounds like a comic book character to me. Someone that would pop up in Batman.
