I've seen this name crop up a few times recently so I was just wondering...Do you think it's ready for a comeback? What sort of girl do you think of when you think of Maxine?

Maxine, Christine, Pauline etc. are probably 10-20 years away from a revival. But a revival they'll have!

I think of squeaky Ashley off Corrie saying ‘Maxime’.

And Maxine Carr.

I think it’s very cool, in a retro kind of way.

Your title immediately made me think of:
Just cos she dances gogo,
It don't make her a ho, no
Maxine with the red shoes on, we go down to the disco.
We're gonna e-e-elope, to Mexico,
Call up my momma say I'm in love with a stripper yo.
Apologies to Maxines and the singer who I can't remember...

Unexpectedly (to myself) I love it!

Wouldn't have gone to the Carr reference myself but others will as proved here.

I don't like it.

But it made me think of Aunty Maxine who was (and probably still is) unhinged. And loved a floral print, on every piece of clothing, all mismatched. It just screams 'mad old aunt' to me.

Prefer Max.

Maxine immediately makes me think of Maxine Carr..........silly, I know.

Wouldn’t be my choice, but there is nothing wrong with it and it is heaps better than the spate of girls who have been named Maxwell

It is fine, but on here you will get lots of references to Maxine Carr. I'd think Maxine Peake or Max Zuckerberg but she's just Max.

I like it. Strong yet feminine and works well in most languages.
