I always liked the name Max for a long time. I never knew why really it just kinda stuck out to me. I guess it was the fact it was so gender neutral made it stick out. It didn't really help out that one of my favorite albums, Aris Infinity by KLRX, has a feminine character called Max (played by Alissa Feudo) with one of the most amazing vocal sections. Some of my programming projects were also just called Max until i found a suitable name. After discovering I'm trans many of my close friends asked if I had a preferred name. I never really though about it so I just defaulted to Max although it never really felt right. The name itself really felt like more of a base for something else. After some google searching it turns out that yeah there are many different variants and one that just stuck out immediately was Maxine.
TLDR; I really loved the name Max. Added the -ine to make it special :P
