Hi, my husband and I are African American in our 30s and live in the North East area of the US in a liberal state. We would prefer a unique name that isn't too wild or spelled crazy. I don't want my kids name ending up on that reddit that makes fun of baby names. I also want them to get a job, not bullied over their name. A name with a meaning would be nice. I am obessed with the Harlem Renaissance and names popular during that time (1920s+). I feel as old school names are coming back in style.

​

Sorry to be cryptic, but for further context while protecting our privacy; my husband name starts with a T and mine with an M. Our lastname is a color starting with G. We have a daughter whose name starts with a T and her middle starts with an M. Obviously to connect it to our names. This is something I want to try to continue, if possible. I am open to M starting names and T starting names.

​

If possible, my daughter's middle name is Maxine (meaning is the greatest). I really wanted to have that meaning as a trend for our children to share. So, I love the name Maxwell (has the same meaning) but as of right now I like it as a middle, because I haven't found something starting with a T that sounds good with for it to be the first name.

​

One name I do love but doesn't fit the TMG/MTG trend is...Von Maxwell. It rolls nicely. But my husband hates it.

​

Any suggestions? It starting with a T or M is more important than the name meaning trend (the Greatest). But bonus if you can work it out whether if the T or M name has that meaning. Thank you in advance.
