Yes or no?

I say yes but I predict a lot of “no”s

I know a little girl called Noah (with that spelling) and one called Rory. Can’t deny it. I like it 🤷‍♀️

Absolute No to Maxine though. Maxine Car has tarnished that name for a long time yet

june2007 · 07/01/2020 18:42

Maxine yes, Max on it,s own No.

I think of the actress Maxine Peake first.

Yes!!!

As in Max from Bad Boys? That's the only girl Max I've heard of. Same for Rory for a girl - Rory Gilmore.

CantankerousOldOne · 07/01/2020 18:48

Yes!

Fivefourthree · 07/01/2020 18:51

I like it. Could also be short for Mackenzie, not just Maxine too.

CantankerousOldOne · 07/01/2020 18:53

Could have Maxa or Maxeen on the BC.

allfurcoatnoknickers · 07/01/2020 18:53

I love it! I also really Maxima as a longer name.

kinsss · 07/01/2020 18:55

Being gentle here, but if you need to ask, that name it is not right for your girl.

Names are instinctive and RIGHT for you/DP/H and your baby.

Most just decide and name them. It just comes right for parents and child at the end of the day.

Congratulations.

PumpkinCounty · 07/01/2020 18:56

No.

Savannaha · 07/01/2020 18:57

it's a no from me

daisypond · 07/01/2020 18:59

No

yorkshireteaspoonie · 07/01/2020 19:08

Yep! Great name 👍🏽

MyCatScaresDogs · 07/01/2020 19:30

Nope. For me, it’s a boy’s name. And definitely not Maxine.

TwigTheWonderKid · 07/01/2020 19:39

Definitely yes! Maxine Peak is an amazing woman and a great example of the full version, if you wanted to lengthen it. The ancient Roman Maximiliana is also a fabulous and strong female name. Max on its own is perfectly appropriate for girls or boys.

MrsEricBana · 07/01/2020 19:41

I think no too but if yes I like the suggestion of Max(ima)

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 07/01/2020 19:42

Definitely no.

missmouse101 · 07/01/2020 19:44

No, awful.

Never a truer word spoken. Both times with our DC, we knew when we had the name. All discussion stopped.

MikeUniformMike · 07/01/2020 19:47

Maxine or Maximiliana on BC.
Max is ok.

I think Maxine Peake too.

Chocmallows · 07/01/2020 19:48

Sounds like a harsh name.
