I adore Maxine. Judie is alright... still too dated imo, I like Judith better. Therese is nice enough, but not a favorite.

I love Maxine, I like all the pronunciations of Therese, and I'm not fond of the spelling Judie but Judy is okay and kind of a cute librarian sort of name.
Maxine is both cool and vintage like a punk girl who shops at consignment shops.
Therese is very Catholic, one of the most Catholic names other than Mary and Maria. I've known many Therese's and they have all been Catholic expect possibly the Swiss ex-pat I know.
For some reason when I first saw Judie it instantly made me think of nudie. I've never seen the spelling Judie before. Seeing it I would feel pretty certain it was a nn for Judith, while the spelling Judy feels like a fn or a nn - truthfully I usually assume fn before nn when I see Judy.

Judie is the spelling my aunt used.

Individually or as a sibling set? Anyway, my thoughts:
Maxine: Neutral towards. It's just one of those names that is 'just ok\very mediocre' to me. Same with Therese though I think I prefer it slightly more.
Judie on the other hand I don't like at all. It just makes me think of a harridan, possibly thanks mainly to Judge Judy who I reeeealy can't stand. The alternate spelling doesn't alter my opinion. I prefer Jody\Jodie anyway

Don't like Maxine, adore Judie/Judy as nn for Judith, and like Therese/Terese.

Do you like Judie or Jusy more? I like Judy since Judie looks awkward.

Sorry Judy not Jusy ! I will register for an account to stop these typos!

Yes, I much prefer the Judy spelling, it looks more natural and pretty to me. (-:

I really don't like Maxine. I picture an elderly chain smoker in leopard spandex pants and a sun visor.
I LOVE the name Judith with Judy as a nickname, but Judie on its own really doesn't work.
Therese is very nice. Nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't excite me either.

I'm not a huge fan of any, but my favorite is Judie. Maxine is my least favorite.

I love all three and think they complement each other perfectly (provided that Judie is a nickname for Judith; I don't care for it by itself).

Maxine: hipster, self-consciously retro, glammy. It's a similar impression to Gloria. Except I think Maxine would "work" better on a child now.
Judie: this spelling annoys me. It looks artificial, like "Cindie" or "Bettie." Judy is a nice solid seeming name though. Retro, but not trying hard to be.
Therese: French. Dated. I find it boring and doughy. Not bad, just blah.
