Maxwell Drew

[frustratedauthor]

Not a fan. It's just too masculine and not attractive for a girl.

I love the combo Maxwell Drew- for a boy.

I think it's an excellent name... for a boy. For a girl, it's horrendous. P.S., say goodbye to Max for your sons, all you moms. Between this and the character on 2 Broke Girls, it's definitely getting girlnapped now.

Max charts very highly for boys' right now, though. Most boys' names that get "girlnapped" seem to have fallen out of favor with boys' before being revived for girls. It seems more likely that it'll end up like Taylor or Jordan if it catches on with girls.

Not impressed at all. I'm not against unisex names but Maxwell? Agggg. Plus I think if she really wanted to use Drew, a family name she should have balanced it with something ultra feminine....Plus the NN Maxie? Just makes me think of maxi pads. I'm all for trying something different but....just yuck,.

I think she should have paired Maxwell or Drew with a more feminine middle or first depending. I love Max for a girl but I have the french feminine form of Maximilian on my list which is Maximilienne. I'm just mad because now people will think I was copying her if I use it.

Sometimes I think that celebrities feel pressure to always be different and this carries over into their baby name choices. While I don't like the unisex name trend, I can understand names like Taylor, Ryan, Jordan, Madison, and even Drew being used on girls, but Maxwell? In this case, I think Jessica Simpson went way past different and into the realm of strange. What girl wants to go through life with SUCH a masculine name? Especially with such a feminine and girly mom. IMO, Maxwell is like naming your girl Matthew or Christopher. Perhaps the baby will be like her mom, personality wise, then there'll be an interesting juxtaposition b/t masculine name and feminine personality. Hmm...interesting.

Ugh! Really! I love Maxwell and Drew on BOYS. Maxine would have been so much better.

Awful! Maxwell is fine on a boy, terrible on a girl. She could have used Maxwell as a middle name for a girl, or even both Maxwell and Drew as mdidle names, with a feminine name up front. Or saved it in case she ever has a boy. Or used Maxine. I really don't think she's going to start a trend for Maxwell on girls, though.

I too think it's a wonderful name for a boy...but for a girl..no freakin way. I could see maybe "Maxi" instead of Maxwell

I just noticed that the day nameberry had the most users at one time was May 2nd, 2012... the day after Maxwell was born. Interesting!
