HelpRe: Bethany, Maxine, and Roxy
in reply to a message by Azula
I don't enjoy Bethany - not big on place names at the best of times, and a biblical one is worse. I like Bethan very much, and would like Megan as well but for its alarming surge in popularity and the idiotic MEEgan pronunciation. I know a Bethany who is mostly known as Bee; she has a four-year-old and a nine-month-old, Joshua and William.
Roxanne is very decorative, too much so for everyday use. But Roxy is like a 1930s cinema or café; if I was sold on Roxanne, which is unlikely, I'd use it as a mn only, to avoid Roxy.
Maxine doesn't shine for me. I like Max as a male stand-alone name, but quite apart from the danger of Maxi as a nn, Maxine just seems drab, like Martine/Martina and Marcelle/Marcella.
