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?

I don’t like it but only because in my first job at a nursery, I was tormented by the room leader Maxine, she was really intimidating and I haven’t forgotten!

Maxine Carr- enough said

Sadly it's Maxine Carr for me as well.

I just wouldn't. Too soon for the stigma to fade...

Maxine Carr for me too I'm afraid, sorry

I think Martine is a little prettier but like Janine and Maureen and Doreen they are still too dated for revival imo

Again?!

I think it's cool and the nn Max is very good for a girl.

I picture Maxine Carr.

Like a pop I'm not even in the UK and went straight to the Ian Huntley connection when I saw the thread title. Sorry 😳
