Love it!

I only know one [name_f]Mavis[/name_f]- she’s such a lovely person, an artist and gardener!
It’s a nice name, although not necessarily my personal style- it’s one of those names that I’ve grown to love because of positive personal connotations.

Very sleek and fun! [name_u]Love[/name_u] it!

Love [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] so much! Pretty, sweet, quirky, spunky, with a little edge. I love the meaning as well. The only [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] I know of is the character from the Hotel Transylvania movies (I have little ones in my life haha) and I like that association too, because the character is great.
I like that it’s familiar sounding, but still unexpected and uncommon. It’s great!

Love [name_f]Mavis[/name_f]! It’s so sleek and spunky, but has the option for a more toned down, softer nickname of [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]. I also love that it’s a vintage name ripe for revival.

I love [name_f]Mavis[/name_f]! Great meaning. It’s unexpected yet in line with so many names that are making a comeback like [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] etc.

I’m not a fan, sorry. I’ve always found it a bit harsh sounding.

I prefer [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], but [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] is nice. it kind of sounds like [name_u]Davis[/name_u] with an “M” to me, not sure how I feel about that. but it would definitely be a refreshing name to see on a little girl

I meant to mention [name_f]Maris[/name_f] as another alternative that I really like.

Honestly, not a fan. It just does not sound appealing to me personally. I think it must be that -vis ending because I really like [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]… I wish I could like it, though, as it has a lovely meaning!

I’m also not a huge fan. I could see it in the middle spot, but for me it’s still a little too “old lady” for a first name. I do like [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Maris[/name_f], though, so maybe I’ll come around to [name_f]Mavis[/name_f]!

I think about [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] so often! Spunky, clunky, a little bit of an attic-name, but it’s so cute!
