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

Vivienne.

Unfortunately I can only think of Maxine Carr when I hear or read the name ‘Maxine’.

I love Vivienne...
Maxine immediately makes me think of Maxine Carr

I’ve got a family member called Vivienne in her 70s so it feels very old fashioned. But then I don’t like names like Ivy or Violet either which are popular at the moment.

As soon as I here the name Maxine I think of Maxine Carr and then that makes me think of those poor little innocent girls.
So maybe don’t choose that one...

I think Vivian is the masculine spelling.

Vivienne by miles. Or spelled like Vivien Leigh.

Maxine still seems quite dated, and made up too.

Vivien

Maxine just makes me think of maxine carr even tho i like the name. Maxi is nice but makes me think of Pad. So maxine carr or maxi pad.

The answer has to be Vivien
