Maxine is awful

FizzyGreenWater · 14/10/2019 12:38

Woah. Far too soon for Maxine I'm afaid.

She and her friends Beverley and Nicola have a few more years in the baby names waiting room yet I think Grin

Georgina is lovely.

Maxine is not!

Wacawaca19 · 12/10/2019 20:56

Georgina.

Frith2013 · 12/10/2019 20:51

They both sound like names for shire horses. Georgina better though as Maxine is either Peake (with an accent too unbearable for me to watch her) or Ian Huntley’s girlfriend.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 12/10/2019 18:32

Georgina. Don't like Maxine at all, sorry.

Nonameyet1 · 12/10/2019 18:30

Georgina is a lovely name. Maxine not so much.

HotChocolateLover · 11/10/2019 15:03

Both are a bit meh. If I had to choose it would be Georgina.

userabcname · 10/10/2019 20:22

Georgina definitely

daisypond · 10/10/2019 20:21

Georgina, but Maxine is OK. Definitely not Georgia.

Aldibaldi555 · 10/10/2019 17:17

Georgina is beautiful, classic and classy

Pemba · 10/10/2019 17:14

I really like the sound of Georgina, it is my favourite of the 'George' names for girls. Just flows nicely and there is the choice of Georgie or Gina for nicknames.

Maxine is OK I suppose but still does seem quite dated and has a made up vibe.

Naomimi · 10/10/2019 17:08

I like Maxine!

roseaugusta · 10/10/2019 05:14

Agree Georgina over Maxine, though I prefer Georgiana...Georgie as a nickname is adorable!

Insomniacscientist · 10/10/2019 04:17

Really not a fan on Maxine. Like a pp I prefer Georgia over Georgina

Mummaofmytribe · 10/10/2019 03:43
