Would anyone care to suggest a nickname for the titled chap in the picture?

Maxim 16: Your name is in the mouth of others: be sure it has teeth.
A name with teeth in a mouth also with teeth? Sounds like a dentist’s nightmare.
Coincidentally, one of the characters is called Maxim, though whether he is the first or sixteenth of his name, I know not.
I think that maxim needs to be taken a little less literally than most.
It’s more the sense of the thing.
