Need some Name Nerd Help with Max My husband and I went to our first prenatal ultrasound today and confirmed the baby’s heartbeat! This will be our first child. We have been trying to figure out some names. We’d like to stick with something classic and traditional that isn’t too popular right now. 

My husband’s surname begins w an “M” and has two syllables. He has German heritage. 

Of the boy’s names we are considering, my favorite is “Max.” My husband initially liked “Maxwell” or “Maximus,” rather than just naming the baby “Max.” He decided that he doesn’t connect with the Scottish heritage of “Maxwell” and does not like the French version. 

Any other ideas or variations? We are also considering Luke, John, Henry, and Oliver, but nothing is clicking yet. 

We do have girls named picked out: Olive Marie or Lilly Genevieve.
