    Miles.  I know too many people who have dogs named Max and with a son named Maxwell, the NN Max is inevitable I think

    I like Miles. Max is the new Jack. Among my yuppie, bicoastal, Ivy League friends, every other new baby boy is a Max.

    I love Miles!! Maxwell is nice too-- but I think it is definitely a more common name these days (or at least Max is).

    Miles for sure. A great name.

    There are so many little boys names Max these days.

    Miles. I like it better and Maxwell reminds me of the singer.

    I like Maxwell, but that's because that's one of our two top name choices.  Where I live it's not popular at all.  I don't dislike Miles, but I just like Maxwell better.

    Miles! Maxwell is a decent name, but I think Miles sounds more sophisticated and handsome.

    Whenever I hear "Maxwell", I think of the Geico commercial about the little piggy that went wee wee wee all the way home.

    They're both good names, but I think Miles is a little less common and that makes me like it more.

    Miles just because I don't think it is as common as Max. I like both names though.

    When I was a teenager, my boss's name was Maxine. Behind her back, all of the associate managers called her Maxi-Pad. It kind of killed all "Max" names for me for the rest of my life.

    Miles sounds great!

    Miles because it's softer sounding.

    I like Maxwell even though I know someone with that last name. I think Miles is too old fashion.

    Miles! I think it's got a sweet but cool feel to it, Maxwell just seems a bit harsh imo.

    I am glad you posted this.  Jack, Maxwell, and Miles are my husband's top 3.  I hate Miles the least.  (Aren't I awful?)  I don't want a super popular name b/c I am a Jennifer....and my husband doesn't think popularity should affect what we name our kid.  Which I get....to a point!  I am glad to read that Mles isn't as popular. 

    And I only started liking Maxwell after that commercial with the piggy.  :-) 

    Jack I like, but it's SO popular. 

    What middle names are you thinking?  We are thinking Henry.

    Miles, for sure.  I agree with those that mentioned the # of dogs named Max & also I had a childhood bully named Max, so there's that. ;)
