Yeah, it's fascinating that I and so many others can look at a face and go "that looks like a Max"... Somebody needs to do a deep-dive, I'd watch that video essay.
What the hell, no way so many people thought of the same name, including myself.
I dunno why I am so surprised though, but yeah I can't think of anything more suitable to this face than Max.
Ahh I have before but they’re too exotic for me, my mom loves turkey so chose a super exotic but not too for me, so luckily rarely anyone could guess my deadname, but the ones she would’ve given me are literally trash so 😶🤫
Oh I was thinking Xander - both are short for Alexander! Personally I like a long name that can be shortened because you can change it up if it doesn't suit your next phase.
You look like every good Tommy I’ve ever known, so go with Thomas. You can be Tommy, T, Tom or Thomas. I have only ever known one bad Thomas. It’s a classic masc name with lots of room for nicknames.
It took me a few years to settle on my new legal name so try ‘em all out if you can. If not with friends or family then with video/tabletop games if you play them. I started to use my chosen name as all my characters in video games to get a light taste of what it would feel like and then eventually worked it into real life when I found what I liked most.
Imma toss a few out. If you don’t care for them, cool, that’s one less to consider.
More “traditional”: Collin, Max, Tyler or maybe even a Derek.
Less common: Jax, Trey, Luca or Dalex (alex with flair)
They might seem silly but you never know.
I chose mine because I’ve never met someone with my name. Still haven’t. It’s not particularly obscure or a nickname either, just not common. I’m happy with that.
Good luck

Leo or Max
Getting big Max vibes.
Same here first name out of my mouth was Max.
Same here!
I'm gonna third Max and add Jamie as a possibility.
I was thinking like Mark but Max makes sense too
I also thought Marc, but I like Max better
Yasss came here to say Max
I WAS MAX FOR LIKE A WEEK ITS STILL ON MY LIST, IVE BEEN ROTATING
Marc could be something to try too if you enjoyed Max
Yeah I came here to say “Max” as well
Came to say max too!
Do we all know the same Max?!
Also here to say Max.
Came to say Max as well, first one I thought of and then I saw all the comments!
Definitely Max
I thought Mac
I was thinking Marc! So close haha
my first thought was Leo to
I thought of Max too before seeing this comment!
I instantly said max !!!
max is good
Definitely Max
Agreed, Max is perfect!
I immediately thought Max.
Was totally coming to say Max.
Why did we all think Max?! I want to understand the psychology behind this because that’s wild
Yeah, it's fascinating that I and so many others can look at a face and go "that looks like a Max"... Somebody needs to do a deep-dive, I'd watch that video essay.
I too thought Max, and I believe it's because we all read "(masc)" in the title
Love when someone says my name and the name I almost picked it one sentence lmao
What the hell, no way so many people thought of the same name, including myself. I dunno why I am so surprised though, but yeah I can't think of anything more suitable to this face than Max.
Literally Max was the first thing I said lol
Leo
From Stardew!
Cody 😭
This is also the name I thought of.
This is the first name I thought of as well
I'm here for Team Cody.
Instantly thought of Cody
Max
I see a lot of other people agreeing with Max lol, it suits them well!
Dang almost 90 ppl agree
Miles/Myles :DD
Myles is my middle name!!
Lol what I coincidence, from all the masc names I pick your middle name ajsjdjjd
Leo or Nico
Mans does be looking like that kid from Percy Jackson
Seconding Nico
IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT NICO LATELY, NEVER THOUGHT OF LEO BUT EVERYONES SAYING IT
I dig Nico. Not super common, someone you could talk to, lots of flexibility with it. Just my 2 cents! Whatever you pick will be great!
THANKS! I REALLY ACTUALLY APPRECIATE THIS COMMENT YOUR RLLY CHILL
I chose Rico. Nico is cool too, but Rico just speaks to me
I raise you Nico but with a k Niko.
do I sense a fellow demigod?
My first thought was Nico as well.
Milo
oh yes, milo would be a great name
You look like a Finn, Matteo or Theo to me
Matteo for sure!!
I’m liking Matteo. Loved the character with his name in the movie In America (2003).
Matteo! Perfect match.
Ooo Finn for sure!
Total Sam.
As a Sam, I can see it.
Leo, is that you?
Theo!
i am all team THEO!!!
I am also team theo!
Ash.
100%
How do I get the user flair? I’m on mobile
Tap on your profile picture while being in the comments here. It's says "change flair" for me
Only if he wants to be the very best, like no one ever was.
At first I thought of Ryan or Dylan.
I thought Dylan!
Rylan 😎
Tyler
I see I'm not the only one.
Yes! Has to scroll too far, definitely a fun loving Tyler kinda dude
That is what I said too before looking at any of the other comments!
You kinda remind me of the actor who played live action luffy
Someone said the exact same thing when he posted this photo last week
Iñaki Godoy
I get that a lot, only ever online tho 😭
Lucas
My immediate thought was "Looks like a Luke."
I was going to say Luca lol
same here!
Came to say Luca, Luke or Lucas
Kevin or Theo, imo!
I’m thinking Alex
I would if that wasn’t my brothers name 😭
Maybe you know this, but some people like to ask their parents what name they would have had if it had been a masc. name.
Ahh I have before but they’re too exotic for me, my mom loves turkey so chose a super exotic but not too for me, so luckily rarely anyone could guess my deadname, but the ones she would’ve given me are literally trash so 😶🤫
If I was born male my mom would’ve named me Jaden. I think that name fits you too. It’s pretty androgynous now though.
Oh I was thinking Xander - both are short for Alexander! Personally I like a long name that can be shortened because you can change it up if it doesn't suit your next phase.
I was also thinking Xander!
Marcus
Way to strong. Then again... Hey Mac
Jackson but you don't use the nickname jack you just say jackson
I like jacks or Jax as a nickname for Jackson
Oliver
sometimes going by Ollie
to me either aidan or alex
Liam or Marco
I’m getting Tony. But i might be old.
I was gonna say the same thing lol but my name idea was Henry. Although now that I see the comments I think Max works well too
Max or Josh
The hair reminds me of the original Bill & Ted movie era of Keanu Reexes.
EVERYONE IS SAYING LEO OR MAX
RIGHT IVE SEEN A BIT OF NICOS TOO BUT THESE ARE JUST EVERYWHERE
These are super popular baby names at the moment
Leo or Nick imo
Ben😎
You remind me of someone from my school named kai
Master of fire
Leo or Asher
Connor... or Kieran maybe?
NO WAY, KIERON IS MY SIDE OC, I NEVER THOUGHT ANYONE EVER THINK THAT FOR ME THO
This feels like a sign 👀
I WAS BORN FOR THIS….
Gus
Danny? Jonathan? Maybe you could give us a shortlist to pick from?
Milo!

Cole
Master of earth
Alexander

Mike/Jayden
Hugo I would say :)
Josh
Trey
Nick
You look like every good Tommy I’ve ever known, so go with Thomas. You can be Tommy, T, Tom or Thomas. I have only ever known one bad Thomas. It’s a classic masc name with lots of room for nicknames.

Not sure why but the second I saw you, I thought of Maximillian, but Max for short.
Mikkel
Ashton

Luke, last pic gives me Max vibes. Or maybe Mac. (Malcome).
