Not Yvette. Maybe Magda.

I have always like the name Magda :)

Yvette won't work even if you're French because all Yvettes are at least 70 years old (and yes, lynette, most of them were cleaners...)

Magda is a beautiful name.
Yvette; just don't. It was the name of my concierge (cleaning lady busybody for the building) when a student in Paris. Also, look up Yvette Horner.

I think Yvette might work if you're French.
Magda I just don't like - it sounds clunky and heavy.

My humble opinion. Quite like magda. Very grown up name. Really hate yvette. Can't see anything nice about it!

Not surprised you're running!

I like both names, particularly Magda.

Au-pair and cleaner.
