I saw an article about this earlier, and was lost for words. As some of you may know, my son is named after Maximus the Gladiator (https://blogofamadblackwoman.com/2017/01/09/the-story-behind-the-name/). Someone please tell me Ridley Scott is going to do the right thing and leave it be!

Maximus Vs. Indiana
Maximus vs. Indiana
I received a phone call yesterday, whereby I had to state my son’s full name.
As I did, it got me thinking… His father wanted me to call him Indiana after the character in Indiana Jones. I did not warm to that idea at all. I really couldn’t stand the shortened version of the name either. (Indy/Indie).
Instead, I chose Maximus after the main character in Gladiator, and there was nothing he could do about it, as I filled out the paperwork whilst in hospital.
Of course I would, but I think I went with the better name – especially for a boy.
Which name would you chose and why?
