  1. It was my great grandmothers who I never met, but my grandma was telling me stories about her before I met my husband and I knew I wanted to name my daughter that name.

    Fast forward to when my husband and I found out we were having a girl I just casually mentioned “Maxine” as a name option and my husband immediately said ” that’s it! We have to name her Maxine”

    Fast forward to her birth day we finally nailed a middle name -” Joy” which is my middle name and my mom called us on her way to the hospital and said ” Did you know Maxine means “Greatest” and with her middle name she is “Greatest Joy”

  2. I was Christened Maxine. I used to hate it when younger but now rather enjoy having an unusual name. Most people who know me though call me Max or Maxi.

  3. My husband and I planned on having kids and chose names way before I was pregnant. The original name was Max. No one in our families thought it was appropriate for a girl, but my husband and I of course, so we modified it to Maxine. Even though everyone calls her Max now that she’s born.
