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?
