Help[Opinions] Re: Maximilienne?
in reply to a message by Amara L.
Too long for my taste--I prefer Maxine, which I think is just great.
I come from a huge Franco-American family, with oodles of 1st, 2nd, & 3rd cousins. Often, a male name is made feminine by the addition of "et" or "ette". A cursory (incomplete--I can dig deeper if you'd like) listing of names of female cousins:
Genevieve
Marguerite
Xacinthe
Helene
Angelique
Josephet
Vitaline
Aurelie
Germaine
Venerance
Blanche
Annette
Noeline
Pierrette
Lise
Solange
Denise
Estelle
From your list, I especially like Rolande and Perrine.
