@thiacat @bonnieb @sara-lou86 @kayteamay huh, I thought it would be more logical to make the stress on the first vowel for some reason! I thought Scottish people would also read it with a proper 'a' sound, like they read apple sometimes, and English people would read it with an 'e' like in Mary...

Max-eem is the way it is pronounced in Russian too!

Max eem

Exactly how it's spelt. I looked after a Maxim not too long ago. Lovely name 😊

"Max-imm"
