Hey everyone.. I'm pregnant with my third child, a boy. I have a 6 year old named Malachi Lee and a 3 year old named Adeline Joi (we call her Adi). I'm having trouble with any names for the new baby. I want something kind of older, but that can have a nickname that's basic or popular. So far nothing's really popped out at me, but I was wondering what you guys thought of Maximillian? i know, it's vary old sounding and long. But Max is a cute nickname, i think.. Unless someone thought it would be cute to call him Maxi. Hmm. Or Ezekial.. Zeke? Maybe they're both too much. But WDYT?

Ezekiel is one of my favorite names, and it makes a good sibset. Zeke makes a good name on its own, but I think the name drowns against the Adelina and Malachi, since the latter two are both three-syllable... I also like Maximillian, nn, Max.

Good name choices!

I love Ezekiel. Not so much for Maximillian but that;s just because it's so long. What about Maxwell instead?

I agree, I like Max, but as a nickname for Maxwell, not Maximillian.

i like max a lot, it was my favorite boys name for a long time, although i am not fond of any of the extended versions, i think i prefer maxwell.

I love Adeline, and Malachi is nice too. Max seems pretty boring, next to them. I don't like the nickname Zeke, it reminds me of a cartoon character, but Ezekiel is nice. Suggestions:

Nathaniel - Nate/Nat
Nicholas - Nick/Nico/Cole
Tobias - Toby
Theodore - Theo
Asher - Ash
Leander - Lee, Andy

I second Malachi, Adeline, and Miles (Milo)!

I know this isn't a useful comment, but I wanted to say I love the name Malachi.

I'm not a huge fan of Max, but I think I may be biased against it because my oldest cousin (in his 30s now) is a Max and he's not the greatest person.

I love Adelina and Malachi. I think Zeke (for Ezekiel) is a good match... it's short but definitely stands out.

Wow thanks for all the replies, that helps a lot!

Max is my husband's favorite name for our future son.

All I can think of, is Maxi-pad. =[
I like Zeke okay I guess.
