I read a book once, in which there was a grandmother who did extreme things and basically acted like an insane teenager and gained the nickname "Mad Maxine."

It's never been my style, and now that crazy grandma is all it reminds me of. Weirdly enough, I do like the nickname Maxie, though. I think I could see it on a child; actually, I might even welcome it, because meeting one bearing the name might change my association. It's not a name I'd use, or that I'd actively advise someone to use, but I also wouldn't advise against it. It's a name that, used on the right person, could break the mold and make a new face for itself in this, or the next, generation.
