Charmaine

Charmaine Sheh Sze-man is a Hong Kong actress. After winning second runner-up in the 1997 Miss Hong Kong pageant, Sheh signed a contract with TVB in 1998. She is best known for her roles in Return of the Cuckoo (2000), War and Beauty (2004), Maidens' Vow (2006), Beyond the Realm of Conscience (2009), Can't Buy Me Love (2010), When Heaven Burns (2011), Line Walker (2014), and Story of Yanxi Palace (2018).

Charmaine is the name of one of Blanche’s sisters from the Golden Girls.

Charmaine is a popular name in Asia, especially Singapore and the Philippines, where several major celebrities with that name are responsible for making Charmaine a popular name choice for girls.

Charmaine Clarice-Relucio Pempengco, known by the stage name Charice, is a Filipina singer who rose to popularity through YouTube. Dubbed by Oprah Winfrey as "the most talented girl in the world", she released her first international studio album Charice in 2010. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number eight, making Charice the first Asian solo singer in history to land in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart. Her single "Pyramid", featuring singer Iyaz, is her most successful single to date. It charted within the Top 40 in a number of countries after its debut on The Oprah Winfrey Show where Charice sang live vocals. Crossing over to acting on television, she joined the cast of TV series Glee as Sunshine Corazon. She released "Before It Explodes", written by Bruno Mars, as the lead single from her second international studio album, Infinity.

On the American television series "The Golden Girls", Blanche has a sister named Charmaine. They also have three other siblings: Virginia, Clayton, and Tad.

The main character in Diana Wynne Jones' 'House of Many Ways' is called Charmain, and people regularly mistake it for 'Charming'. I like it, especially without the e.

I'm probably the only person to ever notice this, but Blanche DuBois on "The Golden Girls" had a younger sister with this name.
