No

I don't dislike it. It has a kind of 1980s glamour. I can imagine one of the women in that Robert Palmer video being a Maxine.

It's just a past generation's version of Amelie or Eloise. 30 years from now people will 'ugh' those names too.

I've decided I'm pro-Maxine. Go for it.

Still too 90s! Along with Christina, Kelly and Natalie

I like Maxine! Maxima is lovely, too.

I didn’t think of Carr at all.

I think it could come back sooner than we think.

I love it. Going to add it to my list for hypothetical second daugher!

No, Far too soon

AbstractHeart · 08/07/2021 18:41

I really like it

I thought Maxine Peake. Wouldn't have thought of Carr.

You might well be ahead of the curve...

There was a character in Corrie called Maxine a few years ago. Think she was married to Ashley? Always makes me think of her!

Erm Maxine is NOT vintage 😂😂😂

The Harry Potter character is Madame Maxime.

What about Martine? I quite like it, and Martina.
