For a girl, thoughts?

Sister to Emerald... if you have any other ideas for non-jewel names that go with Emerald too that would be great.

Other name I like is Xanthe.

I do love that Arthurian vibe.

Also love the stripper names vibe too.

So this is a bit of a mix up.

Xanthe is nice. Also Edina, Ariella, Octavia. I quite like the idea of another vowel name to go with Emerald.

Love Maeve but felt this was something a bit different. It's defo a real name as 80 children in the UK were called this last year

It gives me Glastonbury vibes (as in the New Age town in Somerset, not the festival) - but maybe you're going for something like that. It sounds quite Arthurian.

Maven is yiddish for an expert, eg she's a bit of a fashion maven. I haven't heard is used as a name

Maven isn't a name I've ever heard. It's a word meaning expert in some kind of knowledge. Which I guess isn't awful.

How about Morwen? Maude? Maeve?

I like Xanthe too.
