Maxine

in Baby Names

I checked SSA and it says that Maxine was last ranked at 984 in 1996. I really like the name (my great aunts name). Am I alone in liking it?..

....please tell me I'm not alone

    It's very French. It could really grow on me, especially if I meet a cute little girl names MaxineSmile

    You might be alone on this.

    If it's a family name, though, that makes it more of an option.

    It's my grandma's sisters name. I love her so much Smile Listening to her & my grandma bicker is one of the funniest things I have ever heard.

    It's nms, but it's a nice name.  Plus if your daughter turns out to be a tomboy she can go by Max!  I've always liked that nickname.

    Yeah, me too.  I only know one Maxine (she's probably in her 40's) and she goes by Maxie. I feel like that name is just a recipe for teasing.

    I think it's adorable. There is a bit of a tease factor with it, but I just can't think of anything much cuter than a little girl nicknamed Max. Plus, it makes me think of Maxine from Picket Fences - I loved that show!

    I think it was on this board.

    There is a woman on here with her daughter in her siggy with this name.

    She is the cutest little girl, and her name suits her well.

    I love this name :-)

    It is a cute name, but just a warning, the first thing I thought of was that crotchety old lady in the Hallmark Shoebox cards/products who is always referring to her saggy boobs and menopause!  On the plus side, most kids would have no idea of this reference, so it is not like she would really be teased about it, and I DO like the name!

    I like it a lot!

    This doesn't make me think old lady at all. It makes me think of the song Perfect Gentleman "Maxine, put your red shoes on, we're going to the disco"

    Also John Legend has a song about a girl named Maxine.

    I really like it. ?My husband wouldn't agree to it. ?I brought it up with our first child (we were team green) but we ended up having a boy anyway and named him Maxwell. ?I really like Max as a nn for Maxine. ?People did also tell me that it reminded them of the hallmark old lady but I had never made that reference until other people told me that.
