Maxine is an example of the kind of names that I used to despise but now adore, because of the brassiness. Maxine is great!

I suppose it is hard to make Maxine "pretty" because it's got so much chutzpah. So I like to lean into that, or go in the total opposite direction for something unexpected.

I love Maxine! And I like Max for a girl (as a nickname), too.

---

My stock combo has been Maxine Amelia for ages, but I've also played around with:

---

Maxine Amalia (I otherwise prefer Amalia to Amelia, but I think Amelia fits better with Maxine)
Maxine Amanda
Maxine Amaryllis
Maxine Alicia

---

Middle names beginning with "A" flow best visually, imo. But of your combos, I like:

---

Maxine Adele (I think Maxine Adela, or Maxine Adelia, would be even better)
Maxine Eleanor
Maxine Gabrielle

Cool, like the girl from Stranger Things. I like the nickname Max, Maxie only reminds me of maxi-pad. Other nicknames: Zeen, Zeeney, Ina, Em

Maxine Aine
Maxine Lux
Maxine Danielle
Maxine Olivette
Maxine Rhododendron
Maxine Arlette
Maxine Alice

My name is Vanessa Maxine. I did't like it so much as a kid, but now I love it!

My favourite from your list is Maxine Ruth.

I love it. I actually prefer it to Maxima.

I don't really like it
