Getting there...

Okay. It seems that we've agreed on Maxwell (Max) for a first name, now we need a middle name. Any ideas?

I had, but daddy ditched:
(all family names)
James
Dallen
Joseph

Still in the running:
Abbott
Foster (fam name)
Thomas

He also likes David, but I'm on the fence about it. It's a good name & all, but I'm thinking too popular & I'd have to look (so obviously it's no one close), but I don't believe it's a family name and I think unless all else failed that that's the only way I'd want to use it.

I'm wondering too, would Dunn be okay to use? It's a family name and my dad's middle name & he hates it, but I don't think it's bad & would love to name him after my dad. Maybe as a second middle name? Like Maxwell Thomas Dunn??

And if it helps, the last name is Cribari.

Any suggestions are *greatly* appreciated - this little guy needs a better name than peanut!

I like James & Thomas. However, I think that a short, one syllable middle name sounds better with Maxwell, so I would vote James, or Dunn...which I really liked when you mentioned it, but not with another middle name before it.
Good luck, and a very nice choice with Max. :)

I think that with a last name like Cribari, you could use a simple name like Dunn as the middle name and get away with it. In fact, I think that he should have a simple middle name, just because Cribari is very not simple. In fact, I think that Maxwell Dunn Cribari has a nice ring to it. Giving him more than one middle name would be a bit excessive. If your last name was something like Brown, then yes, but not with yours.

I forgot to mention, part of the reason behind having 2 middle names with Dunn is that I'd really, really love to use it, but we thought Maxwell Dunn sounded like Max well done. =P

I like Maxwell Abbott.

I don't like Dunn at all because it sounds to much like the word dung. however, The neame Dunn is a short form of the Scottish name Duncan and I think Maxwell Duncan Cribari is way better than "Max Well-done".

My favorite is Maxwell Foster Cribari.

um. abbot is an old german word for toilet. I mean, only few people in a certain area in germany know that, but I thought you might want to know that ;)

I like the idea of "foster" for a boy.. I havent even thought of that one, it's great! we have a daughter named Bailey. I think if I named a son Foster though, they might think we have alcohol on our minds (Bailey's and Foster's) lol
