Mab for a girl

I know it probably won't go down well but I love short, sweet, strong names for girls and Mab is a recent discovery which is really growing on me. It's of Irish origin, pronounced just as it looks, apparently meaning "happiness". Thoughts please?

I also really love Meg but DH has vetoed because of Family Guy Angry

I'm not keen.
How about Tabitha - Tab
Or Maddie, Lucy, Rose, Penny, Polly, Nell (Penelope)

I'm Irish and it's a no from me too. It sounds & looks like an acronym.

What about Mabel? Maeve?

I'd wonder if it was a nickname for Mabel or a typo and you met Mads (nickname for Maddie or similar name?)

Hmm sorry it's a no from me
It doesn't even sound like a name
It sounds like a electrical component or something
