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

Maxine is a hideous name.

Jesse70 · 09/10/2019 21:59

Georgina is lovely

Carrie7899 · 09/10/2019 21:59

I don't like either. Maxine is awful.

Georgia is nice though

Tillygetsit · 09/10/2019 22:31

Georgina is miles better than Maxine. The one I worked with was small, brash and hard as nails!

DramaAlpaca · 09/10/2019 23:00

Georgina is much nicer.

Maxine sounds chavy to me, i can imagine someone wearing a shell suit called Maxine

I much prefer Georgina. I love all the George names. I like the nn Max for a girl, but prefer it for Maxima or Maximillienne - or something else.

TheWashingMachine · 10/10/2019 03:14

Georgina is attractive

DoraleeRhodes · 10/10/2019 03:39

Georgina

Georgina

Really not a fan on Maxine. Like a pp I prefer Georgia over Georgina

roseaugusta · 10/10/2019 05:14

Agree Georgina over Maxine, though I prefer Georgiana...Georgie as a nickname is adorable!

Naomimi · 10/10/2019 17:08

I like Maxine!

Pemba · 10/10/2019 17:14

I really like the sound of Georgina, it is my favourite of the 'George' names for girls. Just flows nicely and there is the choice of Georgie or Gina for nicknames.

Maxine is OK I suppose but still does seem quite dated and has a made up vibe.

Aldibaldi555 · 10/10/2019 17:17

Georgina is beautiful, classic and classy

daisypond · 10/10/2019 20:21

Georgina, but Maxine is OK. Definitely not Georgia.

userabcname · 10/10/2019 20:22

Georgina definitely

HotChocolateLover · 11/10/2019 15:03

Both are a bit meh. If I had to choose it would be Georgina.

pigeononthegate · 11/10/2019 15:04

Georgina is a lovely name. Maxine not so much.

FreshHorizons · 12/10/2019 07:54

Georgina

I prefer Georgina.

Nonameyet1 · 12/10/2019 18:30

Love Georgia - don’t like the Gina bit of Georgina

No to Maxine.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 12/10/2019 18:32

Georgina. Don't like Maxine at all, sorry.

Frith2013 · 12/10/2019 20:51

They both sound like names for shire horses. Georgina better though as Maxine is either Peake (with an accent too unbearable for me to watch her) or Ian Huntley’s girlfriend.
