Maxine or Vivienne?

We want something spunky and a bit different. Do you like either of these names? Which do you prefer?

Vivienne. I don't mind that name.

I have a friend with a baby called Vivianna and I think it's lovely

GlitterPixie · 14/04/2019 23:43

Vivienne

DramaAlpaca · 14/04/2019 23:44

Vivienne's nice.

Whoops75 · 14/04/2019 23:46

Love Vivienne

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 14/04/2019 23:47

I dont really like either but I think Vivienne is nicer!

Applescoop · 14/04/2019 23:48

Vivienne is lovely and elegant. I much prefer it to Maxine but I wouldn't describe it as spunky.

RickOShay · 14/04/2019 23:50

Vivienne definitely, it’s great.
Not keen on Maxine at all.

Bumblebeesmum · 14/04/2019 23:52

I like both

Shadow1234 · 15/04/2019 02:02

Neither to my taste, but prefer Vivienne to Maxine

MontyPants · 15/04/2019 02:03

Vivienne is lovely. Maxine is a bit 80s

Peachbubble · 15/04/2019 06:10

Vivienne

Maxine is so dated. Vivienne is much better.

Love Vivienne

miamiibiza · 15/04/2019 06:46

Vivienne

PlatypusLeague · 15/04/2019 06:59

Vivienne

GiantPretzel · 15/04/2019 07:01

Both very dated. To me, they’re not far off Barbara and Angela.

StereophonicallyChallenged · 15/04/2019 07:04

I prefer Maxine. But that's because I've only known lovely Maxines Smile

NutMeghan · 15/04/2019 08:24

Vivienne.

There are so many little boy Max-es running around I think I would avoid Maxine for that reason.

Smellslikemiddleagespirit · 15/04/2019 08:26

I think it would be nice to see the return of the Maxine!

Vivienne is nice, but hate the inevitable “Viv”

Flamingosnbears · 15/04/2019 08:33

Maxine. Vivienne is becoming more popular where as I've not heard Maxine being used its a lovely strong name.

LittleMissMummaBear · 15/04/2019 09:43

I really don’t like Maxine. Vivienne is better, although I prefer Vivian spelling.
Can I suggest Juliet/Juliette? Seems like something you may like! x

sevenyears · 15/04/2019 09:44

I don’t like either of them but Vivienne is always popular on here.

Nnnnnineteen · 15/04/2019 12:49

Vivienne is slightly better but I had an Aunty Viv which is utterly frumptastic.

MikeUniformMike · 15/04/2019 13:34

Maxine. Vivien is quite nice but I think Vivienne will be said Vivvy En.
