Know anyone with these names?
Popularity can be a hard thing to define because being cool, hip, rad or any other dated 90s lingo that implies you’re sound, isn’t an exact science.
The general belief is that being comfortable in your own skin is usually a surefire way to ensure that you’re not a ‘Billy No Mates’, but we’d wager that anyone with the name Max Power is more likely to be more popular than others.
Who wouldn’t want to go for a drink with Max Power?
