[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a rough list of names we've come up with that neither person has vetoed. It's kind of all over the map. Would like feedback (associations, like/dislike, etc.) just to get a sense of how these names might be received. We don't want to tell friends or family about names we're considering because we made that mistake last time and people were really annoying about it. So trying to use DCUM to get that same kind of feedback, but from strangers instead of my mom or our friends, who were sometimes hypercritical or kept trying to push certain names/nicknames on us and just pestered us too much. TIA!

The list:

Rhiannon
Daisy (maybe on its own, maybe as nickname for Margaret)
Maxine
Molly
Virginia, nn Ginny
Daphne
Thea, maybe Theodora as a full name
Calliope, nn Callie
Miranda (no nickname, and we actively dislike Randy as a nn so nervous about this one though we really like it)
Michaela

Also open to suggestions. Only parameters are: no names that start with a vowel, the first initial "M" would be nice but we aren't restricting ourselves to that. Also open to middle name suggestions because we have absolutely no idea![/quote]

Friend of mine just named their child Maxine.  I like it.  They'r calling her Maxie!  [/quote]

I don’t like Maxine but Maxie is a really cute nickname![/quote]

All I hear is maxi-pad. [/quote]

Same, and I think Maxie only works as a nickname for a baby. I have a hard time with the idea of calling a 3rd grader or a 10th grader "Maxie". And definitely not an adult.

The only acceptable nickname for Maxine, I think, is Max. I am fine with androgynous or masculine nicknames for girls, but I would be reluctant to call my DD that because not all girls would be comfortable with it. So I'd only use Maxine if I liked the full name a lot, not for the nickname potential -- there are other names with a lot more nickname potential.[/quote]
