I was at school with a very lively and pretty Maxine. I was always in awe of her name.
I think it's sassy and cute and I really don't think it is dated at all. It's up for grabs by today's parents and I say "If you like it, take it!"
It's not a million miles away from the Mackenzie trend but is so much prettier and bona fide as a first name.
There was a very lovely and elegant British actress called Maxine Audley - I've seen her in old films of the '60s that are sometimes on TV. Who cares about some old lady on a greetings card? A little Maxine of today will make this name her own. Go for it!
