As it stands, the word max is impossible in Chinese, because words can not end in the letter 'x'. Also, 'x' is pronounced quite differently than in English. So, the choices are to keep the foreign word, which is difficult for Chinese speakers to pronounce, or invent a Chinese word similar in sound, which corresponds to one or two Chinese characters.
