Baby Names - You're kidding Right???

[WolfWay]

Birth announcement for Stephné (pronounced Stephany). <sigh>

Max is #32 on the UK charts for boys names, so I don't think the full version of it is really all that weird (which is #200). It means "the greatest" so maybe they have big plans for kiddo

Actually Maximus is latin for "Big".    I think they got it from a local football player who is always talking about "A Maximus Festivus" when we win a big game.
And Max can also be short for Maxwell or Maximillion.

Funny that name was brought up - I had dinner last night with a 4 year old and his name is Max, when I asked if it was short for something; I expected Maxwell or Maximillion - nope it was short for Maximus

As long as the middle name isn't Prime... Yeah, I know my Transformers stuff.

A 20-something(?) barista at Starbucks had a nametag that said "Maximillion".  I asked if that was his real name and he said yes, he goes by Max, but a coworker had made his nametag.  I told him I liked it and he said he had never met another Maximillion, but usually Maxwell.

I kinda like McCoy!  My sister's middle name is McAire.

[Layla Miller]

Not surprised by Cosette, given the movie just came out a few months ago.  I'd expect to see some Eponines before too long, too.

What's so bad with Cosette?  Aside from it being one of the main characters of Les Miz, it's been a name for a long time, just rather under-used.
