There are a few boys named Maxence in my extended entourage, all of them below 10 year old. Maybe it is more popular in Montreal than elsewhere in Quebec?

According to Quebec's banque des prénoms, there are between 55 and 85 boys named Maxence per year in Quebec.

I know of about three or four in my wider entourage here in the Outaouais. Including the son of a work colleague I am pretty sure. All of them are under 15 years old.
