Maxine

[quintessence]

Do you like it?

I really like it

I love it and I think the nn Max on a girl is very cool (in a good way).

Oh no I really dont like this name!

Very middle-aged. It's a no from me.

It's a bit 80s for my liking. I didn't think of Maxine Carr straight away so that's a good thing.

Not in a million years. Old next door neighbour had an aggressive daughter who used to shout at me if I parked too close to her. She was called Maxine. I still shudder at that name. Plus they were common as muck! Sorry but urghh!

It's my middle name to and I'm not particularly keen on it

No, for the Maxine Carr association.

No it's awful

I am going to suggest Roxanne. Has the feel of Maxine but better.

I hadn’t thought of soham at all.

I think people don’t like it because it’s middke aged.
Rough rule of thumb, if it reminds you of your grandma people tend to think it’s sweet. If it makes you think ‘middle aged women’ people think yuk.
However things have trends. Now the Victorian old lady /man nabes have been done to death we are seeing a rise in popularity of 1950’s names such as Valerie, Sylvia, Susan, Jean, Linda (I know of babies with all these names).

So stands to reason that in about 20 years Maxine, Yvette, siobhan etc will be back !

Sorry for spelling (one handed feeding baby)

My favourite name for a girl at the moment. I think it's due a comeback.

I like it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love this name. Can't get why it's not more popular. Maxine to me sounds elegant and confident and able.

Maxine is a beautiful sounding name that travels well into most languages. I really like it.

I agree with pp. If I ever have a dd, she will be a Maxine. I can't understand why it isn't more popular

I can't imagine it on a little girl - every one I've met would be over 60 now.

Needs a comeback!

Max is a sweet name for a girl. Don't like Maxine as a full name though.

I like Maxine.

What about Maxeen?
