Help[Opinions] Re: Girl first name-need your opinion
in reply to a message by LL
I can't say I'm a fan of either, but slow and slimy Sloane is really not encouraging, and then there are or were Sloane Rangers; if Maxine is what you like, then go for it. She could well become Maxie rather than Max if you think that would be better - I do. And it might be easier to go by Maxine as an adult if she started from Maxie and not Max. But, Max can be somewhat neutralised by a really feminine mn:
Maxine Florence
Maxine Belinda
Maxine Rosemary
Maxine Sylvia
Maxine Penelope
Maxine Clare
Maxine Isobel
Maxine Fiona
Maxine Beatrice
I knew two Christensen sisters at school: Christine and Celia, and their aunt (our neighbour) was Karen. I liked all of the names.
ETA: I also knew three Sloane sisters: Eileen, Ruth and Fiona. Ruth's mn is Catherine; I don't remember the others.
