It's kind of inaccurate to state that all of these characters are named Max. While it is a given name, it is also used as a nickname for Maxine, Maxwell etc.

And some of these characters don't really use Max as a nickname either, for instance Maximus Decimus Meridius.

You should perhaps rephrase the question somehow.

Maybe:

These movie and television characters are named Max or have names that start with Max. Which character is your favorite?

@Jessica​ & @Aris_Athanas 

I agree this could be alright with modified question that specifies it includes names for which Max can be a nickname and some tweaks to how the answer pool is presented. I might suggest using the phrase "derives from" instead of "starts with", but both are okay.

These movie and television characters are named Max or nicknamed Max as a derivative of their full given name.

Which Max character is your favorite one?

FYC, maybe bolding the Max portions in the answer pool would be better to tie it all together.

Max is typically used as a shortened name for Maxwell, Maximus, Maximilian, Maxim, Maximo, Maxine, Maxima and  but it has also gained popularity as a stand-alone first name, Max.

He is an interesting character, no doubt, but many of the fans of the video games weren't too pleased with the movie adaptation.

Please change "Poll Suggestion" to "Live Poll" in the discussion thread title and change the settings so that it appears under "Praise" now, rather than "Idea."
