Robert Maximus sounds great. Personally, I dislike it when people call their children by the middle name; I'd rather you just use Maximus as the first name if you want to call him Max.

I typically agree with what you say. My reasoning for this is that Maximus is three syllables long and the FN and LN are two. It just seems to flow better this way. Robert is non-negotiable. I would prefer it to be in the mn slot but it just doesn't sound right saying Maximus Robert.

You are right that it would flow better the other way in terms of first name and middle name. I guess it's about what is more important to you. I would sacrifice the flow of the combo in order to have the name I intend to use as the first name. Any chance it could just be Rob? Maximus Rob Last-name would be okay for flow.
