Maximilian

• I like this name for both its sophisticated formality and its dressed-down simplicity from its shortform, Max. I much prefer it to Maxwell - a surname - as a source of that nickname, and I enjoy its rhythm, which seems to compliment many shorter names very nicely in combination, as a first or a middle name.
• Strong boys name with a cool nickname: Max.  I like it's meaning, "The Greatest."

Maximilian comes from Maximilianus, a Roman name derived from Maximus. Maximus means "greatest" in Latin.
