Re: Maxine & Capucine
in reply to a message by Billina
Maxine is quite frumpy. There's a reason, I think, why the name was chosen for the cranky old woman on those Shoebox greeting cards.
But at least it sounds like a name, even though it also sounds like it could be a disinfectant or something. Like Bactine, only maximum?
Capucine doesn't sound like a person; it sounds like something you'd get at Starbucks in Paris.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Maxine I like.
Capucine reminds me of capuchin monkeys and of cappuchino. It has a weird appeal but for a character, not an actual child.
And I have no idea why this was posted as a reply to RoxStar instead of the original post. Sorry about that.
