I'm not a sports fan but recent ๐ฐnews about NFL ๐football player ๐Maxx Crosby made me do a double ๐๐ take — due to the two '✖✖'s in his name.
How did Crosby gain an extra 'x' in Maxx? A bio tells the origin of, "Crosby's first name is indicative of just how big he was at birth. He weighed in at 11 pounds, 9 ounces at birth. His mom had already decided on a name for him. He was to be Max. And with his XXL birth size, she made him a Maxx."
That is such a great ๐name ๐story. ๐ค I was never aware that there were Maxs with two 'xx's in their names until now. ๐คฏ ๐Maxx is a variation of ๐Max. Max derives from "the formal" ๐Maximilian" — which comes from ๐Maximus: a "Roman family name that was derived from Latin maximus 'greatest.'" Max's rank is pretty great at #175 in the US Top 1000. ๐Nameberry๐ warns: Max has long been among the most popular dog names (Max is #4 for boy๐ dogs๐ถ)." Max also "coincides with the informal word max, short for maximum."
I love ๐ the name ๐Maxx. Now, ๐Max the original is a nice enough, cool ๐ little name (I've always liked the longer ๐Maximilian / ๐Maximillian / ๐Maximillion ๐ฐ however) but — the two '✖✖'s are definitely what make Maxx more magnanimous and yes — greater. ๐

๐Maxxine
๐ญI didn't know a Maxxine with two ✖✖'s existed! ๐ฎ But I love ๐ it! Maxxine a bit more extra & risque than the original, sophisticated Maxine — which makes it all the more appealing to me. ๐๐พ
