I was pretty much set on John Maxwell for the baby but DH came home today asking what I think about Maxwell John instead since we are planning to call him Max anyway....
Maxwell John. Dh goes by his middle name (because that's what everyone called him his whole life growing up) and its kind of annoying with legal documents and at the dr and stuff.
I think I like the sound of John Maxwell better actually... Sorry to go against popular opinion. But if you are usually going to introduce him as just his first name (Maxwell), then it does it really matter.
We also call DS by his middle name and it's confusing to many people, so I can definitely understand wanting the name you'll actually use as the first name!
Personally, I prefer John Maxwell because I think it flows better (not that my opinion matters). But if you're going to call him Max, then go for Maxwell John.
Maxwell John. As a teacher, when kids go by their middle names, every year the kid will have to correct and explain the name he is called. Easier to just use the first name as the name you'll call him. Good name either way, though!
Re: Last minute..... Name opinions please !!!
Thank you ladies for your honest opinions....
