Yeah, I thought of it as overused for a long time. But then my significant other said he likes one-syllable names and I remembered hearing a punk-ish version that my brother's friends used: "
Max Chaos." Now it just sounds cool. Reminds me of
Max Headroom, too, I guess.
So I am kind of settled on
Max Charles for now.
Our favorite girl name is
Zoe Cecelia. I do worry a little that
Max and
Zoe are going to sound extra "dated" together, but perhaps the simplicity of the names trumps my other worries for now.
