Georgina or Maxine?

[Plantbabies]

Want something a bit different for dd2! What do you think of each name?

What’s your dd1 called if you don’t mind me asking @Plantbabies

I wouldn’t pick Maxine because it makes me think of Maxine Car

I’d go with Georgia

Georgina
Maxine... im not ready for it yet.

Maxine... good strong name!

Georgina. Though I admit, I don't love either.

Neither a good choice for a newborn.

If you were naming a 46 year old however...

Georgina or how about Georgia?

Maxine is awful, sorry

Of the two it has to be Georgina.

Georgina is lovely

Georgina and Maxine are 43 and were in the tough group of girls at school!

The Maxine I knew will be 61 and bullied me at school.
Georgina, Georgia or Georgie are all lovely

Georgina gets my vote. I like Georgia and Georgiana (is that how you spell?!!) too! Good luck...

Georgina but I love Georgiana

Another one bullied by a Maxine! Seemed to be the hard girl's name of the 80s. Prefer Georgina.

I prefer Georgina (or Georgia)

Yes to Georgiana!
Georgie for a nick name when she's little

The Maxine I knew was a mean girl too. I was terrified of her, back in the early eighties.

I like both but would pick Maxine

Definitely Georgina but I much prefer other George derivatives like Georgette or Georgia,

Never Maxine. I think the most (in)famous one that comes instantly to mind is Maxine Carr. Not a great association for a child's name.

Definitely Georgina, Maxine is dreadful, agree with pp, I think of someone rough and tough.

Georgina by a mile for me. I don’t like Maxine at all.

Georgina.. but prefer Georgia. Maxine is awful.

Maxine feels more dated.

Georgina.

Both grim.

My first association is with Maxine Peake so much more positive than Maxine Carr. Still not keen. Too 70s for me.

Georgina's ok, but I prefer Georgie or Georgia.
