  1. If it's just Alex and not Alexander, then I'd definitely go with Max.  I think Max stands up better as its own thing than Alex does, which sounds like a nickname and not a real name (I actually really don't like Maxwell or Maximilian anyway lol).


  2. For a boy, Max.

    For a girl, Alex.

  3. How about neither

  4. ALEX!!! of course, n + it a beautiful name.

  5. ALEX NO QUESTIONS ASKED

  6. Max :) It's so cute! And my daddy's name. I like Alexander a lot, however. Just not Alex.

  7. Alex of course. Why ask?

  8. Max

  9. Alexander.  

  10. Alex

  11. Max :)

  12. Alex. Max sounds like a dogs name (no offense)  

  13. Max - there are to many Alex's in the world.

  14. I like Max

  15. I automatically associate the name Max with pet dogs, so Alex.

  16. Alex!

  17. Alex....

  18. Alex...of course I love the name Alexander.  He was my favorite Empirical tyrant in history. :P


  19. Max - From the Roman name Maximilianus, which was derived from MAXIMUS. It was borne by a 3rd-century saint and martyr. In the 15th century the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III gave this name to his son and eventual heir. In this case it was a blend of the names of the Roman generals Fabius Maximus and Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus, who Frederick admired. It was subsequently borne by a second Holy Roman Emperor, two kings of Bavaria, and a short-lived Habsburg emperor of Mexico.

    Alex - from ALEXANDER Latinized form of the Greek name Αλεξανδρος (Alexandros), which meant "defending men" from Greek αλεξω (alexo) "to defend, help" and ανηρ (aner) "man" (genitive ανδρος). In Greek mythology this was another name of the hero Paris, and it also belongs to several characters in the New Testament. However, the most famous bearer was Alexander the Great, King of Macedon. In the 4th century BC he built a huge empire out of Greece, Egypt, Persia, and parts of India. Due to his fame, and later medieval tales involving him, use of his name spread throughout Europe.

    The name has been used by kings of Scotland, Poland and Yugoslavia, emperors of Russia, and eight popes. Other notable bearers include English poet Alexander Pope (1688-1744), American statesman Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804), Scottish-Canadian explorer Sir Alexander MacKenzie (1764-1820), Russian poet Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837), and Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922), the Scottish-Canadian-American inventor of the telephone.
