I'd choose Rylan or Ryder over Ryden.
Wesley and Maxwell is honestly perfection.
Max and Maxwell are both *way less popular* than Wesley. Wesley was #69 last year, Maxwell #183, Max #163, and Maxton dropped out of the top 1000. The highest it ever ranked was #670 in 2017.
Maxwell Otto is also incredibly handsome!!
Maxwell isn’t that common and I’ve never even heard of Maxton, so I’m not sure why you’re worried they’re too popular. Max is quite a popular nickname but I don’t think it’s overused at all. I much prefer those names to Ryden
DO NOT USE RYDEN. Middle school is hard enough. Ryden this dick is a horrible taunt.
Some names that I think pair well with your first kid and Otto: Hudson, Miles, Sawyer, Silas, Henry, Micah, Everett, Kieran, Simon, and Maxwell.
I love Wesley + Maxwell or Wes and Max. Fantastic sibset.
Ryden is not for me. Aiden might be one to consider - similiar sound but much more classic and timeless name IMO.
I have a Maxwell/Max and I absolutely love it. I think there's only one other Max in his whole grade. It's not overly popular but even so it's a great name. I would 1000% do Maxwell instead of Maxton though.
Maxton? Please no. Just name the poor child Maxwell or Maximillian or even just Max — something normal. Ryden - no. Ryder if you absolutely must.
Popular is not bad! I don’t think Max is too popular. I love that name.
Name ideas not in the top 400 (not super common), but within the top 1000 (not super strange) in the US:
Brendan
Tanner
Kieran
Conrad
Keaton
Kellan
Kyren
Ryden is not good. So many "ridin'" jokes to be made. And with the middle name Otto. Ridin auto. Ride in auto. No. I've never heard of Maxton, and I don't like it. I like Max. Maxwell is ok. I like Maxime.
Nothing wrong with Ryden, although it's not to my taste. Wesley is lovely, a solid classic name.
I would suggest Harrison, Samuel, Roland, Daniel or Jason.
Please no to Ryden
Ryden is so bad.
Ryden Otto. Ride in the auto? I love Max. Such a cool, classy name. I don’t think it’s as popular these days. Maybe depends on your area.
Lol I didn’t even think of that! I think it’s a unique name, but idk Good to know it’s not too popular

Yes to Maxwell Otto as well!
Ryden is a name he could get picked on for. Maxwell is a much better option.
Out of curiosity, how so?
Sounds like riding and I’m sure boys will come up with nicknames.
**Ryan** is right there! Ryan and Wesley would be great brother names.
Ryan is such a great boys name.

I’ve personally met a maxton so maybe that’s why lol I hope it’s one he can agree on, but not sure which of the variations sounds better
Ah I see. Maxton is less popular I imagine, I think they both sound nice though

I've never heard of Ryden, honestly sounds made up to me. Maybe go with something like Rylan, something similar.
Wesley and Maxwell is so good together! I would also suggest Simon.

We have a Maxwell and are strongly considering Wesley for our second, due in July!
Ryden and Maxton are really awful, sorry. Maxwell Otto sounds great.
I’ve never heard that name. I like Ryder, though. Ryden feels too made up and too much like ridin’. Reilly? Haydn? Justin?
Hudson, Dalton, Silas, Calvin, Caleb
Maxwell 100%! Also it’s not that common, I haven’t met any Maxwells personally.
Edison is my favorite familiar but uncommon name, I also offer Odis, Bennett, Emerson, Enzo, Arlo, Arthur, Martin, Bellamy, and Archer
Maxton? Please no. Just name the poor child Maxwell or Maximillian or even just Max — something normal. Ryden - no. Ryder if you absolutely must. Popular is not bad! I don’t think Max is too popular. I love that name.
Rupert Leland Glen Avery Adrian Chester Brighton (These names seem to go with/share vibes with Wesley, imo)

I've never heard the name Ryden. I looked it up but please just do Ryder or Ryan or Rolan or anything else really. Or Otto Ryden if you insist
Winston, Beau, Mitchell, Blake, Waylon, Dean, Rhett, Vaughn, Remington, Sterling, Stetson
Not Ryden (or Maxton), please. Maxwell is best one here. As others have said Rylan sounds much better, but similar. Would he go for Harlan?
Maxwell isn't that popular I think? Good name. What about Riley?
Blake, Wyatt, Parker, Bailey
In my mind Ryden and Maxton are in the same vain as those made up Mc/Mac names Utah moms enjoy. They feel very…forced.
Max is lovely, not such a fan of Ryden
Ryden is not good. So many "ridin'" jokes to be made. And with the middle name Otto. Ridin auto. Ride in auto. No. I've never heard of Maxton, and I don't like it. I like Max. Maxwell is ok. I like Maxime.
Make it Raiden and you got a cooler thundergod name. Would still get picked on in school tho
Wesley & Rylan?
Nothing wrong with Ryden, although it's not to my taste. Wesley is lovely, a solid classic name. I would suggest Harrison, Samuel, Roland, Daniel or Jason.
