MAX vs. Person name vs. Dog name

Love the name Max but my partner thinks it is too much of a dog name and shouldn't be given to people. What is your impression? Max would be short for Maximilian.

It is a human name. Not a fan of Maximillan I prefer Maxwell or just Max but all work for humans. I don't think strictly dog when I see this name.

Dog name. Maybe a Childs name. But Never an adult man's name.

Human name all the way

The fact that you even had to think "does this sound like a dog name" tells me that you shouldn't be using the name.

That's so stupid. Max is a fine name. People use human names for pets all the time, does that mean that name is just for dogs? My neighbor has a dog Steven, guess I need to send the memo to all the human Steven's that they have a dog name now. See how stupid and flawed that logic is. A "dog name" is something like Sparky, not freaking Max.

Max is THE dog name

I actually know several of both so I can't really say one way or the other.

I agree with the above comment. A real dog name is Rover/pepper or something ridiculous
Dogs and animals are given human names. My dogs are named Olivia and Elena. My friend has dogs named Elliott, Micah, Ella and Katie.

I know a Max in his 20s and a toddler Max. Toddler is named just Max. Adult Max I think has a longer formal name, maybe Maximilian but I'm not sure. I do not know any dogs named Max but I could see it working as a dog name- generally anything short that's easy to call out works for dogs. I wouldn't worry about it, but if your partner doesn't like Max on a baby/person then I'd consider something else.
