people should have more respect for the names parents pick

I hate it that people ask what are we naming our son and when we share they make fun of it like idiots. I picked a name and my husband picked the middle name , he picked Maximus which he loves and thinks its it's a strong name. I didn't warm up to  the name at first but I had to respect his choice . well today my brother asked what we were naming our baby and when I said Maximus he laughed and said "oh like gluteus maximus lol" and we both just said "yeah sure like that" smh. Does anyone else get this also? Is there something wrong with that name for reals?

You are the parent and will be the one caring for that child; therefore the decision of the name is between you and your husband. A few people have talked about my daughter's middle names "Marie-Ruth". They say they are old names but they were her Great Great Grandmothers names (Marie is my side and Ruth is my fiancée's side). Both woman were strong and paved the way for our families. I am proud to give my daughter those names. So, you hold your head up and tell the world of Mr. Maximus!

People are dumb! Acting as if they got a say in what you are naming your child. Love the name Maximus. Wanted to name my baby that. My next baby is going to be named after my dog lol. She has a human name but people think its stupid I wanna name my kids after my dog. I dont care what people say I love my dog and she has been very special to me and name Leo or Leona is a good name.

Maxiums is not a name to be made fun of. Some people have such dull boring names. I dont see what the probably is thats a cute little name and you can call him Max. I went to school with a guy with that name.

Dont let peoples dumb opinions get to you. I want to name my daughter Anastasia and my old friend had said oh their is a women with that name is 50 shades of grey trying to be a perv I guess. I love that name and Im.keeping it.


Your son will grow well into his name and be confident, some people have dumb names and no backbone. Smdh
