- Personal experiences with the name Maigen
My name is Maigen, and I've only met one other Maigen. Both of us have a LOT in common.. We are very strong willed and opinionated. Determined and dilligent. Creative and crazy. we tend to live life on the edge.. We are intelligent, and people know that they can depend on us for anything they need. If we can't do something, we won't stop trying until we do. We are UNLIKE any other girls. We tend to be "real" and straight up with people, and do not tolerate ignorance. We've faced hard times in our lives, but it has made us the strong women we are today.
