Other than Maxwell or Maximilian can you think of anything that Max can be a nickname for?

Maxim, Maddox.

I workat a day care and one of my kids is named Maximus

if you want to horrible mutilate the spelling of a Russian name, Maksim, you can do it Maxim... or change the MAx spelling to MAks... and do the original name.

I wouldn't want to do that to a good Russian name. Plus Maxim just reminds me of the magazine. lol. I do like Maksin though, and Maks.

Maxine.

"Max" can be a nickname for a girl, too.

[djador.livejournal.com]

Ah, very true. I hadn't thought of that.

[confusedanswers.livejournal.com]

thank god, someone who won't mutilate just cause you can!

It's impossible to horribly mutilate Russian names, as they are originally written in Cryillic. Since Maxim and Maksim sound the same as Максим, they're both pretty legit. It's like Natalia versus Natalya and Alexei versus Aleskey versus Aleksei.

Blah. *Cyrillic. Stupid typoes.

[confusedanswers.livejournal.com]

true... I suppose its all in the pronunciation, however. I, wiht a sligt southern draw, pronounce Maxim and Maksim differently, as well as all the forms of Natalya and Aleksei. I asked my northern BF how she would pronounce them, and she doesn't say them much differnetly at all. I just suppose which is closer to the actual cyrillic pronounciation in my head and thus I consider others horribly mutilating it. :) I'm weird like that!

I'm female, and my nickname is Max.
My name isn't Maxine, though.

[luxury-bus.livejournal.com]

I know. There are other girl names, too. I was just throwing it out there.

Maxie/Maxi/Maxy
Maxima
Maximillienne
etc.

What's your name?

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]

I love the name Maksim.

I also love the hot Russian guy named Maksim on Dancing With the Stars, lol.

I don't know if this is something you would do, but...


I once worked with a girl who had the name Margaret Anne-Katherine. Initials MAK, which phonetically is Max. So....everyone called her Max.

Maximus

[tokossel.livejournal.com]

french names: maxime & maxence. or italian: massimo.

[heure-actuelle.livejournal.com]

Max is actually a family name of mine and it originated with a great-grandpa named Magnus

[arbus.livejournal.com]

are maxime and maxence male names? if so, how do you say them?

i like the idea of massimo a lot!

btw, im not the original poster, but i have long been searching for a name i like that max could be a nickname for, and have yet to really find one.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

one i havent seen mentioned yet is maxfield (like the artist maxfield parrish)

[djador.livejournal.com]

Maxime is Max-eeeeeeeeeem. Except with a few less e's.

I don't know about the other one though.

I like Massimo too but I wouldn't use it unless my baby daddy was Italian or something. Same with the french name.
