When we were little (i think i was 6 and he was 4), one year for my birthday I was given a gorgeous little black cat! The first name for the cat that sprung to mind was Max! I then wondered if my cousin Max would be ok with it… I asked my mum to call Sarah for me and then the following conversation played out like this:

Me: Hi Sarah, its Rosie i need to ask Max a very important question.
Sarah: Okay he is just here one second. *muffled sounds* Rosie needs to speak to you
Max: Hello?!?
Me: Hi Max I have got a new cat he is so sweet and I’d like to call him Max, like you, but I wanted to ask your permission first!
Max: hmmm… I suppose that is ok as long as you don’t call him Maximilian as that would be copying! But also remember I am the first Max!

And of course, Max will be forever the first Max❤️
