Name Advice

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] guys!! First post here and expecting first baby girl by the end of [name_f]November[/name_f].

We have settled on the name [name_f]Maxine[/name_f], we have got a list of middle names but we’re finding it hard to narrow down and pick so wanted to share here and see what folks would vote for!

Surname is [name_f]Linn[/name_f] (but spelt a bit differently)

• [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Sage[/name_f] [name_f]Linn[/name_f]

• [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Enya[/name_f] [name_f]Linn[/name_f]

• [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Linn[/name_f]

• [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Kendra[/name_f] [name_f]Linn[/name_f]

• [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Tyra[/name_f] [name_f]Linn[/name_f]

We kinda prefer something that looks and sounds strong, what name/s give that vibe to you?

We are also totally down for any suggestions!!

Thanks !!

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Maxine[/name_f]!

[name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] stood out to me from your list.

[name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Jeanne[/name_f] and [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Nadine[/name_f] have been on my list, but they might be too rhyme-y for a lot of people’s tastes.

I also like [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Linn[/name_f].
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] has always felt/looked strong but feminine to me.

I’m between Sage, Enya and Petra! They have very different aesthetics to them so it’s hard for me to choose a top one

If you want something soft and dainty I would go with Maxine Sage

If you want something pretty and unique I would go with Maxine Enya

If you want something strong and bold I would go with Maxine Petra

Also I’m not sure if Kendra is an honour name or just a name you love but if Maxine ever had a sister Maxine and Kendra are so freaking sweet together as sister names!! I honestly love them together so much for 2 sisters, they just feel so perfect together!
