[Opinions] Maxine
I just watched an episode of House (since there's a marathon on, yay! :P) where a couple had a baby and named her Maxine. It got me thinking about the name, and the more I think about it, the more I like it. WDYT of Maxine?

There was a Maxine at school - an unusual and interesting name. I like it and think it deserves more attention. It certainly beats Mackenzie, Madison, Mikayla etc!

Since we were considering Maxwell for a boy, my Mother-in-law, who had no idea what we planned to name our girl (we picked a name after our 18 week ultrasound, but kept it from family) kept trying to convince us to use Maxine, so she could be a "little M & M." Our last name begins with M. I told her we wanted to save Maxwell for a boy. I really meant it, but if I ever do have a boy, I wouldn't name him Maxwell now. I don't think it is a bad name. I would prefer it as a middle name however. I think it would make a terrific middle name.

I like Maxine-it has spunk. And Max is a cool NN for a girl.

I love Maxine.I like the name in and of itself, but then that's helped along by the fact that it's my paternal grandmother's name.Maxine has so much zest to it, in my opinion.

I love!It strikes me a very retro hip, like a flapper's name. I would love to see someone name their daughter this. I think it also works well as a MN, having the same rhythm as Marie, but a completely different feel!

I really like it. I always thought it was very cute and underused. It would also make a great middle name!!!!

I love it. It was one of my top names for a few months. I haven't thought about it in a while though. Thanks for reminding me. :)

Oh, I like it too. In fact, it's on my PNL. It makes me think of the 1930s.

I don't like it. There's something soap-opera about it.
