[quote=Anonymous]Max is a nickname. You can opt to give a child that as his given name, but historically, it is a nickname, not a given name. As has been pointed out, the trend of naming kids just nicknames has become common. I'm of the school that short nicknames are good for common use, but that they shouldn't be used as given names. But then, I only really care about my family. What other families do is really up to them. I know a ton of kids that were given nicknames as their full given name and it doesn't really make a difference to me. So in a way, both of you are right. Your husband is right that traditionally Max is a nickname and not a given name. You are right that many people do name their children using nicknames as the given name. What really matters is that you come to a compromise agreement of what you both want to do. [/quote]
