My best guess would be that she has a friend called Maxxine, and her phone has grown accustomed to the letter sequence. *her first child is called Favour, they are not slaves to the boring limits of Anglo-Saxon naming tradition. I do feel slightly sorry for the kid that her younger brothers are the much more conventionally named Joshua and Noah, though. Much as I find it slightly amusing that when Fay was born, in October, and they married in November the previous year, Lizzy was keen to share how wonderful it was that God designed us so that you couldn't get pregnant while breastfeeding, and therefore contraception was unnatural and unnecessary. Joshua was born in August the year after Favour and suddenly it was wonderful that God had blessed us with the knowledge of the the IUD... Noah joined the gang several years later. I can neither confirm nor deny that there was an ulterior motive in my gifting him a rainbow baby blanket (Fay and Josh both got blankets that were equal parts white, pink, blue, and purple. Conveniently Lizzy and her husband didn't know, or at least tell people, the predicted genital configuration of either in advance of the birth so there wasn't a three line blue/pink whip. But I'd run out of the various yarns by the time Noah came along, also they'd moved to Nigeria and didn't tell me they were expecting until after he'd emerged, and I had the rainbow yarn already).
