My husband really likes the names Maeve for a little girl. At first I was shocked because his preference for G names has been very popular, cutesy names. We are in the US and Maeve is not overdone here. I think it looks beautiful on paper but am wondering if it sounds as beautiful as it looks?! It gives me a strong and confident vibe!
What “vibe” does this name give you? It is intriguing me quite a bit!
Middle names we are considering:
Maeve Helene
Maeve Marie
Maeve Christine
Maeve Roseline
Honest thoughts please!!!
I love both names but I only like [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] for a boy’s name

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is warm and lovely but with strength and spark too!! I think it’s familiar enough now that people wouldn’t mistake it for mauve.
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] is snappy, sharp and sparky, unisex and modern.
Some nickname ideas:
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]: [name_f]Mae[/name_f], Mavie, [name_f]Mimi[/name_f]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]: Q, [name_u]Quincy[/name_u]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]: [name_f]Mamie[/name_f], [name_f]Meri[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]: [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_u]Moe[/name_u]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f]: [name_u]Micky[/name_u], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]: Quinsie
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] Nicole/Quinn [name_u]Marie[/name_u]: [name_f]Queenie[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is my favourite!

I love Maeve! It’s such a sweet, spring-like name 
I wouldn’t worry about it getting mispronounced, it’s a rather popular name so most people should know how to spell it! Not as popular as Quinn, though, which is a good thing if you want to avoid overly popular names.
Maeve Rosie would be adorable! I’d go for Maevy or Mae as a nickname.

Thank you! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Helene[/name_f] [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] ?
Thank you! I was concerned that it sounds TOO strong for a little girl. I just can’t seem to stop thinking about it!! Which do you prefer from [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Helene[/name_f] [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m]?
Thank you!!! I don’t know why I can’t get the name [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] out of my head!! I was concerned it was too strong for a little girl… but I’m ok with it! [name_u]Love[/name_u] all the nicknames!! I also love that it’s outside the top 100 here in the US. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Helene[/name_f] or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]?
